Impact After being listed as probable for personal reasons, Love is available off Miami's bench Tuesday. The veteran big man has appeared in only one of the Heat's past four games, and he's unlikely to play a significant role with Bam Adebayo and Kel'el Ware both healthy against Portland.

Draws starting nod sans Adebayo Love will start in Monday's game against the Clippers, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.

Impact Love will make his first appearance with the Heat since a Dec. 29 win over Houston, joining the starting lineup Monday for the injured Bam Adebayo (back). Over five games with Miami's first unit in 2024-25, Love is averaging 7.4 points, 5.4 rebounds, 1.2 steals and 1.4 threes in 12.2 minutes, so the veteran big man figures to offer limited fantasy upside against the Clippers. Rookie first-rounder Kel'el Ware should play a prominent role off the bench.

Back to bench Love isn't part of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against New Orleans.

Impact Love had been out of the rotation for multiple games before jumping into the starting lineup Sunday. Despite his starting status, he played just 14 minutes. Love will yield to Haywood Highsmith at the power forward position Wednesday.

JANUARY 2 • ROTOWIRE

Limited run in start Sunday Love racked up five points (1-7 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-4 FT), six rebounds and one assist over 14 minutes during Sunday's 104-100 win over the Rockets.

Impact After being a healthy scratch for Miami's past three games, Love made his fifth start of the season Sunday but offered very little production in the box score over 14 minutes. Love is now averaging 7.4 points, 5.4 rebounds, 1.2 steals and 1.4 threes in 12.2 minutes in five games as a starter this season. The veteran big man's best fantasy days appear to be very much behind him during his 17th season, as Love has yet to eclipse 18 minutes played in a single game in 16 appearances during 2024-25, so fantasy managers can likely find better options on waiver wires in most leagues.

DECEMBER 30, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Starting Sunday Love is in the Heat's starting lineup against the Rockets on Sunday, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.

Impact Love has been a healthy scratch in each of Miami's last three games, but he will start Sunday for the fifth time this season. Love is averaging 6.0 points, 4.4 rebounds and 1.2 assists over 11.3 minutes per game across 15 outings (including four starts).

DECEMBER 29, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Cleared to play Love (personal) will be available for Monday's game against the Nets.

Impact Love was previously listed as probable. The veteran forward has averaged 4.2 points and 2.4 rebounds across 8.6 minutes per contest over his last five outings.

DECEMBER 23, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Probable for Monday Love (personal) is probable for Monday's matchup against the Nets, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Impact Love will likely suit up after a one-game absence due to personal reasons. The veteran forward has seen a reduced role with Miami this season, and in his last five outings, he has averaged 4.2 points and 2.4 rebounds across 8.6 minutes per contest.

Unavailable vs. Magic Love has been rueld out for Saturday's game against Orlando due to personal reasons, Tim Reynolds of Associated Press reports.

Impact Love has held a minor role within Miami's rotation, so there won't be many minutes up for grabs Saturday in his absence. His next chance to return will arrive Monday against the Nets.

DECEMBER 21, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Minor role continues Love had four points (2-5 FG, 0-2 3Pt), five rebounds and one assist in 12 minutes during Monday's 125-124 overtime loss to the Pistons.

Impact Since missing a Dec. 2 loss to Boston due to a back issue, Love has appeared in five straight games. However, he's played double-digit minutes three times during that stretch and scored in double figures only twice. Across 14 appearances this season (four starts), the veteran big man has averaged 11.8 minutes per game.

DECEMBER 17, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Good to go Wednesday Love (back) will play Wednesday versus the Lakers, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Impact Love ascended to probable Wednesday morning, and he will officially suit up Wednesday night. The 36-year-old has averaged 5.4 points and 5.8 rebounds despite shooting just 25.0 percent from the field across his last five contests.

DECEMBER 4, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Upgraded to probable Love (back spasms) has been upgraded to probable for Wednesday's game against the Lakers.

Impact Love was probable for Monday's game against Boston before he was ultimately ruled out, so it's not a guarantee that he suits up. If he does play, he may be limited to minutes in the lower teens.

DECEMBER 4, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable for Wednesday Love (back) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Lakers, Tim Reynolds of Associated Press reports.

Impact Love has missed two of Miami's past four games due to a back issue and could remain sidelined Wednesday. Even if available, the veteran figures to have a limited role, as he's averaged 12.3 minutes per game across his last nine appearances (four starts).
