Kevin Love’s return to the slopes is closer. The veteran Cleveland power forward could only play two games this time before stopping due to a strained calf in his right leg. At that time, and after the pertinent MRI, his absence was estimated to be about three or four weeks. They will be more.
With more than a month having passed since the injury became known, the Cavaliers have now announced that their player has now started individual basketball activities, which is an important step towards seeing him back on the floor. Although there is no set date for his return, the Ohio franchise announces that Love’s status will be evaluated day by day as rehabilitation work continues.
With an average of 18.2 points and 11.1 rebounds in his career, Love has barely been able to play this course and for now he is at 9.5 points and 6 rebounds. Despite being unknown in what state he will return or what role JB Bickerstaff will assign him, the reality is that he will be an important addition for some Cavs who are currently seventh in the Eastern Conference with a balance of 10-11.
When Love signed an extension for the maximum in 2018, many understood that it was the first step to seeing him change of scene, as Cleveland headed towards a deep rebuilding with the goodbye of LeBron James.
