CHICAGO -- Kyle Korver is not going to play against the Bulls Saturday because of a personal matter.

Not only does it mean the Cavs will miss Korver on his 37th birthday -- Korver left the team Friday to deal with a family issue -- but they will be severely shorthanded. Rodney Hood, Larry Nance Jr., Tristan Thompson, Cedi Osman, and Kevin Love are all out with injuries.

The Cavs have canceled shootaround for Saturday morning, so there is no telling who coach Tyronn Lue will start until everyone gathers at United Center around 5 p.m. local time.

Korver has been brilliant in his last three games, averaging more than 17 points and shooting better than 65 percent from the field. He replaced JR Smith in the starting lineup. Lue mat have little choice but to go back to Smith against the Bulls.

LeBron James and George Hill figure to start, and probably Jeff Green and Ante Zizic too. Assuming Smith starts, that would leave Jordan Clarkson, Jose Calderon, John Holland and London Perrantes for the bench.

Holland and Perrantes are on "two way" contracts, which means they spent half the year in the G League.
