Heat's Kevin Love: Coming off bench Monday
Love will come off the bench in Monday's game against the 76ers, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
With Jimmy Butler (ankle) returning from a four-game absence, the Heat will opt to keep Haywood Highsmith in the starting five and move Love to the bench. The veteran big man has started in all four of his regular-season outings this year, during which he has averaged 8.0 points, 5.3 rebounds, 1.5 steals and 1.0 assists across only 11.8 minutes per game.

Heat's Kevin Love: Erupts in third quarter vs. Pacers
Love totaled 15 points (6-8 FG, 3-4 3Pt), seven rebounds, two assists and four steals in 12 minutes during Friday's 124-111 victory over Indiana.
All 15 of Love's points Friday came in the third quarter as he helped extend the Heat's lead to as much as 22. Love missed Miami's first eight games of the 2024-25 regular season due to personal reasons, but he has started in the last three games, though his minutes will likely stay in the low teens as he works his way back up to game speed.

Heat's Kevin Love: Limited minutes in season debut
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 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.

Love is in the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Timberwolves.
Not only will Love be making his 2024-25 regular-season debut Sunday, but he will also draw the start while Nikola Jovic retreats to the bench. In 55 regular-season games (five starts) for Miami during the 2023-24 campaign, Love averaged 8.8 points, 6.1 rebounds and 2.1 assists over 16.8 minutes per game.

Love has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Hornets after he was absent from Friday's practice due to personal reasons.

However, the 36-year-old was ruled out for Wednesday's regular-season opener hours before tipoff, and it is unclear how long his absence will last.
