Kevin Love Misses Wolves Game Against Knicks

LAS VEGAS (AP) ― Kevin Love was held out of the Minnesota Timberwolves' summer league game Sunday afternoon against the New York Knicks for precautionary reasons with an inflamed left Achilles.

He left in the second half of Minnesota's game on Saturday against the Milwaukee Bucks with the same injury.

Team officials don't consider it to be severe.

Love was expected to practice later Sunday with the U.S. national team at a local high school. He was added to the select team Saturday as an extra body for practice in preparation for the Olympics.

Love was the fifth overall selection in last month's draft. He averaged a league-best 13.5 rebounds in four summer contests. He added 18 points per game.
