Overview

  • Marc Stein and Jake Fischer report the Jazz expect Love to join training camp next week following his July acquisition.
  • Reporting indicates buyout discussions have stalled and may not progress unless a playoff contender with interest emerges during the season.
  • Utah has not defined his role, with expectations he will be used as a veteran depth piece.
  • The 37-year-old averaged 5.3 points and 4.1 rebounds in 10.9 minutes over 23 games for Miami last season.
  • The Jazz signed Mo Bamba this week, increasing frontcourt competition, and reports suggest both could be on the opening-night roster against the Clippers on Oct. 22.
