Cavs News: Kevin Love To Start For Cleveland After Missing Two Games

Cleveland Cavaliers forward Kevin Love will return to the starting lineup tonight against the Brooklyn Nets after sitting out the past two games for rest.

"Me resting had nothing to do with my back," Love said, addressing rumors he sat out with a back injury. "Coach (David Blatt) had approached me. I was playing heavy minutes and he came to me and asked if I'd sit a game or two and that's all it was. I feel good. Anytime you take a couple days and a couple games in this part of the season, you come back feeling a little bit better. Everybody is focusing on their health; everyone wants to have a full roster come playoff time. This is my first experience going through it."

Love is averaging 16.8 points and 10.1 rebounds per game this season.
