Kevin Love told reporters that his signing with the Miami Heat "is breathing new life into me" as he readies to make his team debut Friday at the Milwaukee Bucks.
The Cavaliers and Love reached a buyout agreement on amicable terms February 18, ending his nine seasons with the franchise. Two days later, Love signed a contract with the Heat for the remainder of the season.
Love played a career-low 20.0 minutes per game over 41 contests and averaged 8.5 points on 38.9 percent shooting and 6.8 rebounds. He hasn't played since logging 12 minutes against the New York Knicks on Jan.
