Heat's Kevin Love: Limited minutes in season debut
Kevin Love (personal/conditioning) ended with six points (2-7 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 1-1 FT), six rebounds, two assists and two steals over 13 minutes during Sunday's 95-94 victory over Minnesota.While the 36-year-old big man drew the start in his season debut in place of Nikola Jovic, it was Jovic who saw the bigger workload in Miami's frontcourt, playing 23 minutes off the bench. Love averaged only 16.8 minutes per game for the Miami Heat in 2023-24 during the regular season and saw even less court time in the playoffs, so it's unlikely his role will increase significantly even after he gets his legs under him.
