Timberwolves forward Kevin Love is returning from his two-game suspension and ready to get Minnesota back on the winning track.
Love was suspended for stepping on Rockets forward Luis Scola last weekend. He missed a win over Sacramento on Tuesday and a loss at Memphis on Wednesday.
Love says it was difficult to watch the team at home on television. He was named the Western Conference All-Star team on Thursday, and the Wolves will welcome his scoring and rebounding.
Love is averaging 25 points and 13.7 rebounds per game this season. He will be back in the starting lineup when the Timberwolves host the Dallas Mavericks on Friday night.

MINNEAPOLIS Kevin Love might just be the best power forward in the Western Conference, perhaps even in the NBA. He's second in the league in rebounds per game, with 13.7, and fourth in points, averaging 25.0. His stats place his name among the likes of Dwight Howard and Kevin Durant, LeBron James and Kobe Bryant. They're the biggest names in basketball today, and Love'...

"Bad night ... Tough game."That was how Ricky Rubio began his tweet after the Timberwolves lost to Memphis Wednesday night.It was a bad night and a tough game ... for Rubio, in particular. He had only one assist in the loss. That's the fewest assists of his young career.Chances are, there will not be many games like that -- not as long as Kevin Love is in the lineup...

No player wants to make excuses or accept it, but, on Wednesday night, the Timberwolves had no other choice.With Kevin Love serving the second and final game of his suspension, the Timberwolves were sluggish all night, falling 85-80 to the Grizzlies in their second loss to Memphis this season. It wasn't a performance to be proud of, but...

Los Angeles Clippers forward Blake Griffin and Minnesota Timberwolves forward Kevin Love played each other one-on-one recently, but not in a game of basketball.
Griffin and Love played a game of Jenga in a commercial for the game which allowed them to incorporate their basketball moves...which made this commercial fun to watch.
No evidence of any foot stomping by Love....

When Minnesota Timberwolves' Kevin Love isn't stomping on Luis Scola's face and chest, he is a pretty good player. The double-double machine was recently selected to join the 2012 Western Conference All-Star reserves (his second All-Star appearance) but apparently he won't just be taking part in the Sunday big game.
Love (h/t cbssports.com) is reportedly going to...

With the football season ending Sunday, the NBA certainly filled the void nicely thanks to the surprising play of Jeremy Lin. Despite what the media would have you believe, there are other basketball games being played around the country–and great ones at that. Last night saw 2 overtime contests, a shootout in Minnesota, and a plethora of great...
