Miami Heat forward Kevin Love will miss his ninth game of the season tonight after being held out of the second half of Tuesday’s game due to back spasms, as noted by Winderman.
Love’s first eight absences were due to a personal matter. The 36-year-old veteran has been a key contributor for the Heat when healthy, averaging 6.6 points and 6.1 rebounds per game in just under 12.6 minutes of play this season.
Throughout his career, Love has been a five-time NBA All-Star and a former NBA champion with the Cleveland Cavaliers in 2016, known for his rebounding prowess and perimeter shooting as a stretch four.
His absence leaves a gap in Miami’s frontcourt rotation, especially considering his experience and versatility.
