Love (eye) is expected to play Thursday against Chicago, Ramona Shelburne of ESPN reports.

Analysis:

Love sustained a corneal abrasion against the Heat on Wednesday, but he said his vision is back to normal, and the current plan is for him to play Thursday. Love could wear goggles, though the team is yet to confirm whether or not that will be the case. If Love is, in fact, cleared to play, expect him to make the start at power forward.
