Kevin Love: (Shoulder) Cleared For Full Range Of Motion

Love (shoulder) underwent his six-week checkup and has been cleared to build up full range of motion in his left shoulder, the Akron Beacon Journal reports.

Analysis:

Prior to the doctor's appointment, Love's workout routine was limited to cardio. Now that he's been given the all-clear, the difficult portion of his recovery is in front of him, as his multi-month rehabilitation continues unabated. With the expectation that Love will opt out of his contract and explore free agency, interested parties will have to negotiate based on the assumption that he'll approach his previous All-Star status.
