Kevin Love Expected To Start Sunday
2 years agoMiami Heat forward/center Kevin Love is expected to start Sunday night against the Denver Nuggets. Love recently fell out of the rotation after sitting the final two games of the Eastern Conference Finals and the first game of the NBA Finals. Heat could use Love's shooting ability to space the floor against Denver's lengthy frontcourt. Love's return to the starting lineup may push Caleb Martin (illness) to the bench.

Kevin Love Will Not Play Thursday In Dallas
1 month agoMiami Heat forward Kevin Love (personal) is away from the team on Thursday for personal reasons and will miss a second straight game. The veteran is only averaging 10.5 minutes per game in his 19 games this season, so his absence won't impact the rotation very much. Haywood Highsmith and Nikola Jovic will continue to get most of the work at forward coming off the bench, although both could be in for extra work depending on the status of Bam Adebayo (knee), who is questionable.

Kevin Love Available Against Nets
3 months agoMiami Heat forward Kevin Love (personal) has been listed for personal reasons on the injury report but is considered available for Monday's game against the Brooklyn Nets.

He's not recommended as a streaming option, and he will probably take some minutes away from rookie Kel'el Ware.
