Report: Kevin Love to test free agency

Kevin Love has reportedly decided to test free agency during the NBA off-season, despite previously insisting that he is keen to stay with the Cleveland Cavaliers.

The power forward, who is currently recovering from shoulder surgery, can opt out of his contract during the summer, having joined the team as part of a trade with the Minnesota Timberwolves last year.

According to Yahoo Sports, Love is likely to test the free agency market, with the Los Angeles Lakers and Texas-based teams among those expected to be interested.

However, the report adds that Love is expected to return to Cleveland after listening to offers from other franchises.

Love averaged 16.4 points per game during 75 appearances for the Cavaliers during the 2014-15 season.
