INDEPENDENCE, Ohio -- The Cleveland Cavaliers will surely have adjustments to make ahead of Wednesday’s Game 2 against the Chicago Bulls. One of those could be making room for injured forward Kevin Love on the bench.

Though he has been ruled out for 4-6 months, Love is expected to rejoin the team for the first time since undergoing season-ending left shoulder surgery last week.

Could Love’s presence provide some sort of intangible lift to help the Cavs even up the second-round series?

"I'm not sure,” LeBron James said after practice on Tuesday. “It's always great to have everyone around, no matter what's going on and we know that he's recovering from shoulder surgery so I'm not sure if he's still laid up or whatever the case may be, but it will be great to see a brother of yours who has been around for so many months."

Love won’t be able to replicate Willis Reed’s dramatic entrance onto the court in Game 7 of the 1970 NBA Finals for the New York Knicks, but based on the amount of fans wearing Love paraphernalia to Game 1 despite his absence, a shot of him on the Quicken Loans Arena video screen is sure to send the crowd into a tizzy.

“Well, we want to see him here, of course,” Cavs coach David Blatt said. “He's in New York City after surgery doing what he has to do. But hopefully he'll be here, that will be great. We love him and we want to see him here.”
