Trail Blazers' Caleb Love: Explodes for career-high 26 points
Rotowire
Love recorded 26 points (9-20 FG, 6-14 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, five assists and one steal in 38 minutes during Friday's 127-123 win over Golden State.
Love torched the Warriors, going off to the tune of 26 points, marking a career high. With Shaedon Sharpe and Jrue Holiday sidelined due to calf injuries, it was all hands on deck for the Trail Blazers. While this was a great performance, Love is nothing more than a situational streamer, given that he was basically out of the rotation earlier in the season. However, he could see increased usage until Sharpe or Holiday returns to action, which won't be for at least another week.

Love provided 17 points (7-14 FG, 3-8 3Pt), seven rebounds, three assists and one steal in 32 minutes during Tuesday's 127-110 loss to Phoenix.
Love has now appeared in three consecutive games, and it appears that the Trail Blazers intend to max out the two-way player's allotment of games with the parent club. The North Carolina product went undrafted in the offseason, but an encouraging session in the Summer League earned him a spot with Portland. Love's minutes will likely dip when Jrue Holiday (calf) returns to action.

Rotowire
Love generated 18 points (7-16 FG, 4-7 3Pt), six rebounds, two assists and one steal over 23 minutes of Friday's 106-73 win over the Warriors.
Love had a reputation for being a streaky scorer during his five-year college career, but his shot was falling Thursday during Portland's rout of Golden State. He finished second on the team in points and posted a team-high positive 24 plus-minus. Love will need to be more consistent if he wants to stick in the NBA. However, he'll have the opportunity to prove himself while on a two-way contract this season.

Trail Blazers' Caleb Love: Signs with Portland
Rotowire
Love is signing with the Trail Blazers on a two-way contract, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
Love went undrafted following a rollercoaster five-year college career split between North Carolina and Arizona. During the 2024-25 season with the Wildcats, he posted averages of 17.2 points, 4.4 rebounds, 3.4 assists and 1.2 steals while shooting 39.8 percent from the field and 34.0 percent from three over 37 games. Known for his ability to catch fire as a scorer, Love can also struggle with inconsistency, often falling into shooting slumps that hurt his team. His showing in the NBA Summer League should offer a better sense of how his game translates to the pro level.
