It’s been about a month since Kevin Love broke his hand, and he has yet to play a game since then. However, on Thursday morning, the Cleveland Cavaliers forward was videotaped working on the court with a soft brace on that hand, signaling his return to action will soon be upon us.

Originally, it was estimated by Cleveland that Love would need eight weeks to recover from his injury. He did not require surgery, and it looks like he might be on the short end of that estimate based on the fact he’s progressing so well right now.
At the very least, Love should be back by the end of March, which would give him a couple of weeks to get into a groove before the NBA Playoffs begin.
So far this season, Love has averaged 17.9 points, 9.4 rebounds and 1.6 assists per game.
