Kevin Hart is just hours away from being released from a Los Angeles hospital after his doctors felt he was well enough to be discharged and start the long road to recovery at home.

We're told the doctors have informed the comedian, he will either be out Tuesday, or at the latest Wednesday.

The "Jumanji" star will need the assistant of a back brace for support after he leaves the hospital, and as he progresses, he the doctors will re-evaluate what he needs to heal. The good news is he is stable enough where he will not need a wheelchair.
