Kevin Love Shows Up For Practice.

Coach J.B. Bickerstaff said Love was able to do “quite a bit of the live stuff” during the workout as the Cavs, who have lost eight straight, got in a previously unscheduled practice after Wednesday’s game against San Antonio was postponed because of a COVID-19 outbreak among the Spurs.

Love’s return would provide a major boost for the Cavs, who have dropped 10 of 11 and are now enveloped in a strange situation with center Andre Drummond.

The team has decided not to play Drummond while trying to trade the two-time All-Star, who is in the final year of his contract and not part of Cleveland’s long-term plans.

However, Bickerstaff said Drummond was not with the team Wednesday and the Cavs are still discussing if he will stay around while trade talks proceed.
