CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Cleveland Cavaliers forward Kevin Love has been named the recipient of the Arthur Ashe Award for Courage at Sunday’s ESPYs.

The award, named after the former tennis great, is given each year to a person whose contributions transcend sports. Through his extensive work with the Kevin Love Fund and his commitment to mental health awareness -- a mission that began in 2018 with his personal essay titled, “Everyone is Going Through Something” on the Players’ Tribune -- Love has made a profound impact.

“It is an absolute honor to receive this award and I am incredibly humbled by it,” Love said. “In telling my story, if I can help just one child that is suffering to make sense of what they are experiencing, I know my efforts have been worth it. I hope one day we are able to erase the stigma around mental illness, starting with public conversations around mental health and encouraging people to seek help when they need it, followed by research, action, and change.”
