And the fear and anxiety resulting from the recent outbreak of COVID-19 can be extremely overwhelming,". He hopes his commitment will help alleviate stress and encourage others to support their communities.

Love's donation prompted a handful of other NBA players to follow suit, including Blake Griffin of the Detroit Pistons.Giannis Antetokounmpo of the Milwaukee Bucks also donated $100,000 to the staff at Fiserv Forum, where his team plays. The New Orleans Pelicans' rookie sensation Zion Williamson pledged to cover the salaries for employees at the Smoothie King Center, where his team plays, for 30 days.

"This is a small way for me to express my support and appreciation for these wonderful people who have been so great to me and my teammates and hopefully we can all join together to relieve some of the stress and hardship caused by this national health crisis," he wrote in a post on Instagram. "This is an incredibly resilient city full of some of the most resilient people, but sometimes providing a little extra assistance can make things a little easier for the community.
