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.

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.
