Kevin Love Shares Inspirational Message Following First Game Back From Injury

Kevin Love took the court in an NBA game for the first time since early November on Friday night, and while there was clearly quite a bit rust that needed to be knocked off, that’s not what he was focusing on.

Love took to Instagram shortly after the game to share an inspirational message about what it means for him to be back with his teammates after a long and arduous rehabilitation.

Injuries are just another way of life telling you it’s not going to be perfect. Athlete or not you have to constantly overcome adversity and failure. And while you can’t turn back the clock…you can wind that MF up again.

It’s messages like these that have made Love one of the most respected players in the NBA, both amongst his colleagues and amongst fans.

For the last couple seasons, Love has become increasingly outspoken about mental health, his own struggles, and how important it is for people to feel free to speak their mind. This message proves that he truly practices what he preaches.

Love played just six minutes in Friday’s game and logged four points, one rebound, and one assist. It’s clear that he is still quite a ways away from being the double-double machine that fans have come to expect.

Despite that, he’s taking it all in stride and seems incredibly happy just to be back.
