3 Days Minnesota Timberwolves Flip Saunders said there is no repair work necessary with Kevin Love before next season begins. "I don't think so," he said when asked if there needs to be "any repair between the organization and the player." Love's lost season is raising questions about his future with the Timberwolves, but he's close to Rick Adelman and the team is confident about their future around Love. Saunders revealed that Love is about a week and a half out from doing "unlimited" physical activity, so he'll be good to go well in advance of training camp. | 15 Days Minnesota Timberwolves According to ex-GM David Kahn, he had to convince Timberwolves owner Glen Taylor that Kevin Love was worth a maximum contract. If true, it's a seriously large statement and a potential reflection of why Love has said what he has about the organization in the past. "We handled it the best way we can, and of course I handled it per instructions from the owner," Kahn said. "Glen and I talked about it at length. I think it actually took me some time to tell Glen it was imperative he receive max money." Kahn also revealed that Love really wanted the five-year deal instead of the four-year deal he settled for instead. Love can opt out of his contract in 2015. | 1 Month Minnesota Timberwolves Kevin Love (knee surgery) didn't use crutches on Saturday and said he will "not miss any normal offseason workouts." "It's a big summer for [the Wolves]," said Love. "Just getting back in shape, in a month luckily I'll have a clean bill of health and will be ready to go." He just had arthroscopic surgery on Wednesday, which obviously was of the 'minor' variety, and it sounds like he'll have the entire summer to get himself into prime shape for a playoff run in 2013-14. | 1 Month Minnesota Timberwolves Kevin Love had a plate removed from his injured left hand and had arthroscopic knee surgery on Wednesday. He's now out for the season due to the knee surgery, but it's nice to see that his hand injury is improving, too. Love has missed a whopping 26.5 games per season over his last four, so he'll be a risky pick in fantasy drafts given his shaky track record. | 1 Month Minnesota Timberwolves Kevin Love's knee surgery is "minor," a source told the Minneapolis Star-Tribune. Whether it's minor or not, it's not going to ease the pain of Wolves fans and fantasy owners who were hoping for a Love cameo toward the end of the year. Apparently, Love's knee bothered him for "much of the season," so we can't imagine why he waited to get it checked out as he was out with a broken hand anyway. Regardless, Love should be healed well before training camp begins, but his lost season is officially over. | 1 Month Minnesota Timberwolves Kevin Love will have arthroscopic surgery on his left knee and will be out 4-6 weeks. This is totally unexecpted and Love's hand injury is a moot point now with the injury to his leg. The surgery is to remove loose bodies due to scar tissue in his knee and he should be ready to go for next year. While Love would have been a slam-dunk pick in the first round this year, his injuries combined with a 35.2 percent from the field makes him a somewhat risky pick in drafts next season. | 2 Months Minnesota Timberwolves Kevin Love did not get a CT scan on his hand this week and will be re-evaluated next week. By the time Love visits the doctor, it'll be three weeks since his last doctor's visit. Depending on which day he sees the doctor, the Wolves will likely have less than 10 games remaining this season, leaving Love very little time to get in game shape and return to action. Love recently admitted he might not play again this season and that's starting to look more and more like an inevitability. It's time to move on. | |
