19,000th Minute Played

Kevin Love has never played a full season, whether it was because of injuries or coach’s decision. This has resulted in Love’s career average of games per season is 64.5. Despite that, Love has played plenty of minutes (16,889 to be exact), thanks to his career average of 32.7 minutes per game. If he plays his average number of minutes over his average number of games, he would end the season at 18,998 minutes. That’s just two shy of 19,000. Fortunately, Love has played more than 70 games in each of his last three seasons, so he’ll still probably be able to hit the 19,000th minute milestone.
