After missing a month-plus of action following knee surgery, it appears that All-Star Cleveland Cavaliers forward Kevin Love is close to returning. 

Love took part in a light practice with the team on Wednesday and could return to action in Cleveland four-game road trip, potentially seeing action as early as this upcoming weekend. 

Cleveland has put up a mediocre 6-6 record without Love in the lineup. The defending champs have also lost four of their past five games. 

Love, 28, was having a really strong bounce back year for Cleveland prior to the injury, averaging 20.0 points and 11.1 rebounds while shooting at a 39 percent clip from three-point range. Should he return here soon, Love will once again prove to be a top-end fantasy option from the four spot.
