Given that Kevin Love was waived by the Cleveland Cavaliers mid-season, signed with the Miami Heat, and then didn’t play significant minutes in the Heat’s NBA Finals run, what is the likelihood of Kevin Love retiring from the NBA this offseason, considering his age (34), recent performance, championship ring already won, and potential desire to spend more time with his family? I’m interested in understanding the various factors that might contribute to his decision, including potential free agency interest from other teams, and how those factors might influence whether or not he chooses to continue his NBA career or retire.

Answer

No, Kevin Love is not retiring from the NBA. He signed with the Miami Heat in February 2023 after being bought out by the Cleveland Cavaliers. He remains an active player with the Heat.
