Kevin Love News, Rumors, Updates - Miami Heat

Listed as questionable Love is questionable for Friday's game against Washington due to a right rib contusion.

Impact Bam Adebayo (quadriceps), Jimmy Butler (hand) and Kyle Lowry (knee) have all been ruled out already, while Love, Tyler Herro (quadriceps) and Max Strus (finger) are all questionable, so Miami is in danger of rolling out a skeleton crew versus the Wizards. However, if Love is available, he would be a candidate for a starting role and increased usage with Adebayo and Butler sidelined.

Diminished role continues Love registered 10 points (3-7 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 1-2 FT), six rebounds and three assists over 18 minutes during Wednesday's 138-119 win over Memphis.

Impact Love remained in the starting unit Wednesday, although he is certainly not playing the minutes typically associated with an NBA starter. It is unclear why exactly the coaching staff is continuing to run with Love as the starter, given how much better the team looks with him off the floor. Outside of limited stream appeal, Love is not someone to consider outside of deeper formats.

Likely to play Friday Love is probable for Friday's game versus Cleveland due to a right rib contusion.

Impact Love missed Monday's 130-128 loss to Atlanta with the same injury, but he returned to action Wednesday, reclaiming his spot in the starting five and finishing with eight points (4-7 FG, 0-2 3Pt), eight rebounds, two assists and one steal across 21 minutes. The veteran big man will likely continue to play through the injury Friday, though because the Heat are entering the front end of the back-to-back set, it wouldn't be a major surprise if he was downgraded to out ahead of the 8 p.m. ET tipoff. Even if Love plays Friday against one of his former teams, he'll still be a candidate to sit Saturday in Orlando.
