Kevin Love Not Interested In A Buyout
4 years agoCleveland Cavaliers forward Kevin Love isn't interested in a buyout from his current employer. The veteran is owed $60 million over the next two seasons, and since he isn't expected to see a prominent role during the 2021-22 campaign, a mutual agreement to part ways was seen as the only sensible approach. Love dealt with a nagging calf injury last season and was relegated to only 25 games as a result. If he remains in Cleveland, his fantasy outlook will be lower than it's ever been. However, if he can land on a new team, it will likely increase.

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 was unable to play in their last game against the Orlando Magic, so he'll likely slot back into his reserve role where he averages 11.3 minutes per game. He's not recommended as a streaming option, and he will probably take some minutes away from rookie Kel'el Ware.
