Love has not played since Jan. 29 because of a broken left hand, but had been targeting a date this week as a potential comeback. According to Drew, Love participated in shootaround this morning and will be on a minutes restriction during the game.
The return of Love comes on the same day coach Tyronn Lue announced he was taking a leave of absence from the team to address his health concerns.
Kyle Korver, Cedi Osman, Rodney Hood, Larry Nance Jr. and Tristan Thompson all remain out for the Cavaliers.
