still weeks

INDEPENDENCE, Ohio (AP)
— Kevin Love’s comeback
has been slow and steady.
The Cleveland Cavaliers
need it to speed up.
Love said Monday that
he’s still weeks away from
doing any significant on-
court work as the five-time
All-Star forward recovers
from left foot surgery that
has sidelined him nearly all
season.
Love was recently cleared
to accelerate his rehab,
but he isn’t sure when he’ll
play and suggested he
could be out until after
February’s All-Star break.
“I don’t know,” he said
when asked for a time-
frame on his return. “It’s re-
ally tough for me to say be- Hurricanes top Senators for 4th straight win
cause I don’t know how my
foot is going to respond.
Hopefully it will be sooner Ottawa Senators goaltender Anders Nilsson (31) makes a shoulder save as Carolina Hurricanes’ Lu-
rather than later.” cas Wallmark looks on during second-period NHL hockey play in Ottawa, Ontario, Sunday, Jan. 6,
