Kevin Love participated in most of practice with the Cleveland Cavaliers on Wednesday as he nears his return from a calf injury.

Love has been out since Dec. 27, when he aggravated a calf strain he initially sustained in the team's exhibition opener.

"Hopefully that's a good sign," J.B. Bickerstaff said of the latest step in Love's slow improvement. "Obviously you wait and see how he responds tomorrow, but he's making progress and he was with us for most of the day.''

The Cavaliers have lost 10 out of 11 games and are no longer playing Andre Drummond as they attempt to trade him.
