Kevin Love pays tribute to Channing Frye with throwback Arizona jersey

Apr 7, 2019, 1:46 PM | Updated: 8:58 pm

It’s been quite an NBA career for former Arizona Wildcats star Channing Frye.

On Sunday, Kevin Love showed his appreciation for his Cleveland Cavaliers teammate by donning a throwback jersey of Frye’s from Arizona upon entering the game against the San Antonio Spurs.

The gesture was a nice touch for Frye, who is retiring after this season following a 14-year NBA career.

Sunday’s game was the final home game for Frye and he started the game in favor of Love, a UCLA product.

Frye starred at Arizona from 2001-05 before being selected as the No. 8 overall pick in the 2005 NBA Draft.
