MIAMI — His career rejuvenated by a role in the Miami Heat’s run to the NBA Finals, Kevin Love agreed Friday to return to the team on a two-year deal in NBA free agency, with the second year a player option.
Having fallen out of the Cleveland Cavaliers’ rotation, Love, 34, resurrected his career after receiving a buyout from the Cavaliers and then joining the Heat on Feb. 20 in the buyout market.
Love then immediately moved into the Heat starting lineup, a role he also held for stretches during the Heat’s two-month playoff run.
