MANKATO, MINN. (AP) - Minnesota Timberwolves forward Kevin Love has left training camp in Mankato to return to the Twin Cities for an MRI on his right knee.
Love was experiencing discomfort and swelling in the knee on Monday night, and the Timberwolves sent him back home Tuesday for an examination.
Coach Kurt Rambis says he isn’t sure how serious the injury is, and he’s also unaware how Love was hurt.
Love averaged 14 points and 11 rebounds for the Timberwolves last season. He also was a valuable reserve for Team USA in its gold-medal run in the world championships this summer.
