Kevin Love Latest News
Coming off bench Saturday
Love is not in the Heat's starting lineup against the Bulls on Saturday. Love will retreat to the bench Saturday due to the return of Kel'el Ware (knee). Love started in the Heat's last three games and averaged 6.0 points, 5.7 rebounds and 1.0 assists over 12.7 minutes per game.
Solid all-around performance
Love racked up 10 points (3-8 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 3-4 FT), six rebounds, one assist, two blocks and one steal over 16 minutes during Wednesday's 112-107 loss to the Cavaliers. Love started for a second consecutive game with Kel'el Ware (knee) out, but the veteran big man made the most of his minutes and filled the stat sheet admirably. This was the first time Love scored in double digits since Dec. 7, when he posted 11 points in a win over the Suns, and he should remain in the starting lineup as long as Ware remains out.
Cracks rotation with Ware out
Love tallied two points (1-4 FG, 0-2 3Pt), nine rebounds and one assist in 12 minutes off the bench in Monday's 106-90 win over the Wizards. After stepping away from the team shortly before the All-Star break, Love returned from personal leave in the middle of last week, but he didn't appear in any of the Heat's ensuing three games leading up to Monday. Even when available this season, Love has typically found himself outside of the rotation, but he moved into the starting five against the Wizards while Kel'el Ware (knee) was sidelined. Ware will remain out again Wednesday in Cleveland, so Love should stick in the rotation for at least one more game, even if he isn't deployed as a starter.
Starting Monday vs. Washington
Love is in the Heat's starting lineup against the Wizards on Monday. Love has been sidelined for the past 10 games, with part of those absences being due to personal reasons. However, he will enter the starting five for Miami on Monday due to the absences of Kel'el Ware (knee), Jaime Jaquez (ankle), Andrew Wiggins (ankle) and Nikola Jovic (hand). It'll be Love's first start since Dec. 18, 2023, though he shouldn't be expected to play heavy minutes Monday despite the Heat's lack of frontcourt depth.
Will return against Atlanta
Love (personal) will return to the floor for Miami in Wednesday's game against the Hawks, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports. Love has missed 27 of the last 31 games for the Heat due to personal reasons but will return Wednesday against the Hawks. The veteran big man hasn't played since Dec. 20, where he logged three minutes in the loss to the Thunder.
Another absence coming
Love (personal) is out for Monday's game against Atlanta. Love will miss a seventh straight game for Miami and remains without a timetable to return to the team.
Out once again
Love (personal) is out for Sunday's game against the Bucks. Love will miss a sixth straight game for the Heat due to personal reasons, and it's uncertain when he'll be ready to return to the hardwood. His next chance to play will come aginst the Hawks on Monday in the second leg of a back-to-back set.
Ruled out against Toronto
Love (personal) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Raptors. Love will miss a fifth straight game Friday for the Heat, as he will not be available to take on the Raptors in Toronto due to personal reasons. The 36-year-old big man has played in only 19 games for Miami this season and hasn't made much of an impact from a fantasy perspective during his time on the floor, averaging career-lows in points (5.5), rebounds (4.1) and assists (1.0).
Another absence coming
Love (personal) won't play in Thursday's game versus the Mavericks. Love will miss his second straight contest Thursday due to personal reasons. However, the veteran big man's absence won't significantly impact Miami's rotation.
