BREAKING: Kevin Love's Status For Heat-Bucks Game
On Friday night, the Miami Heat will be in Wisconsin to face off with the Milwaukee Bucks.
For the game, they will have their new veteran forward available, as Kevin Love says that he will play.
Via Clutch Points: "Kevin Love tells reporters that he will make his Heat debut on Friday vs. the Bucks"
Love had been in his ninth season playing for the Cleveland Cavaliers but was bought out of his contract last week.
Right after becoming a free agent, he signed with the Heat, which could end up being one of the most significant roster moves of the season.
The former UCLA star is having a down season with averages of 8.5 points, 6.8 rebounds and 1.9 assists per contest (while shooting 35.4% from the three-point range).
That said, he is a five-time NBA All-Star who shot 39.2% from the three-point range in 2022 and has incredible career averages of 17.2 points and 10.5 rebounds per contest.
He is also an NBA Champion (2016) and has been to the NBA Finals four different times (2015-18), so there is an exceptional level of experience that he will bring to the locker room.
The Heat have been to the Eastern Conference Finals in two out of the last three seasons, and they made the NBA Finals in 2020.
Right now, they are the seventh seed in the Eastern Conference with a 32-27 record in 59 games (a half-game behind the New York Knicks for the final guaranteed playoff spot).
