Cavs News: Kyle Korver to Be Out Indefinitely Following Brother’s Death

Add Kyle Korver to the list of members of the Cleveland Cavaliers who will not be available in Wednesday night’s matchup against the Toronto Raptors.

The veteran shooting guard was excused from the team on Tuesday, following the tragic passing of his younger brother, Kirk Korver.

Kyle Korver had left the team last Friday to be by his brother’s side when he became seriously ill last week. He missed Saturday’s win over the Chicago Bulls, but later returned to the team and scored 12 points in Monday’s victory over the Milwaukee Bucks.

It is unclear how long the three-point specialist will be gone from the Cavs, but there is no doubt that what is most important is that he is given the appropriate time to grieve this tragic loss.

Our thoughts and prayers are with the Korver family during this difficult time.
