Love did not practice Tuesday due to a stomach illness, Adam Lichtenstein of the Sun Sentinel reports.
EDGE Analysis
Love is expected to see a doctor, and his status will be updated later. For now, he should be considered questionable for Wednesday's game against the Magic. If he's unable to play, the Heat could turn to Haywood Highsmith and Caleb Martin to fill the void.

Love racked up nine points (3-7 FG, 3-7 3Pt), 10 rebounds, four assists and one steal in 24 minutes during Monday's 112-108 loss to the Timberwolves.
EDGE Analysis
Despite Tyler Herro and Bam Adebayo returning to action, Love entered the starting lineup after coming off the bench in Miami's previous contest, finishing the game with a team-high rebound mark and ending one point short of a double-double. Love has hauled in 10 or more rebounds in five games this season, his first double-digit board total since reeling in 12 rebounds Dec. 8 against Cleveland.

Love is starting Monday's game against the Timberwolves, Wes Goldberg of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Love is coming off a strong 22-point performance Saturday against the Bulls, and his play has evidently earned him a spot with the first unit Monday evening. His last start dates back to Nov. 28 against the Bucks when he posted six points, 10 boards and four assists across 26 minutes.

Love posted 22 points (8-12 FG, 6-10 3Pt), seven rebounds, one assist and one steal across 26 minutes during Saturday's 118-116 victory over the Bulls.
EDGE Analysis
Love rained in six threes en route to a season-high 22 points. Logging 26 minutes matched his second-largest workload of the season, but he's stepping up recently amid Bam Adebayo's (hip) absence. Burying 3.4 threes per game at a 42.5 percent clip over his last four games, Love has helped propel Miami's league-best 39.5 percent shooting from beyond the arc as a team.

Love logged 14 points (5-9 FG, 4-8 3Pt), 12 rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal across 28 minutes during Friday's 111-99 loss to the Cavaliers.
EDGE Analysis
The 35-year old forward out of UCLA continues to provide value off the Miami bench. Love has scored in double-digits in two of his last three games and his 28 minutes played Friday was a season-high. He should continue to get more looks on offense as long as Bam Adebayo remains out with a bruised left hip.

Love will return to the bench for Thursday's game against the Pacers, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
EDGE Analysis

Love closed with six points (2-11 FG, 2-5 3Pt), 10 rebounds and four assists over 26 minutes during Tuesday's 131-124 loss to the Bucks.
EDGE Analysis
Love got the starting nod Tuesday, moving Jaime Jaquez to the bench. Love finished with a team-high-tying rebound total and ended four points short of a double-double. The veteran forward has hauled in 10 or more rebounds in three games this season, including in two straight outings.

Love is in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against Milwaukee.
EDGE Analysis
Love will make his fourth start of the season and his first since Oct. 30. Jaime Jaquez will head to the bench, likely in an effort for Miami to match the size of Milwaukee's frontcourt.

Love (personal) is back with the Heat and is not listed on the injury report for Friday's game against the Knicks, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
EDGE Analysis
Love sat out Wednesday's game against the Cavaliers due to a personal absence, but he'll be back in the fold Friday. It's possible he will see extended minutes if Bam Adebayo (hip), who is listed as questionable, is sidelined. Duncan Robinson (thumb) is also questionable.

Love is out for Wednesday's game versus the Cavaliers due to personal reasons.
EDGE Analysis
Love hasn't suffered any injury but will miss Wednesday's contest for personal reasons. Thomas Bryant should see increased minutes in Love's absence. Love's next chance to suit up is Friday's matchup with the Knicks.
