08:10 AM ET 03.25 | Anthony Randolph shined in place of Kevin Love during Thursday's Timberwolves loss, but it's Love's availability that may be of more interest than Randolph's career-high 31. Before the game, Timberwolves coach Kurt Rambis said there's a chance Love could miss the rest of the season because of a strained left groin. "There is an outside chance; I don't know how great that chance is," Rambis said. "Obviously, with hamstring or groin injuries, you want to be cautious with them because they can linger for a long period of time, and we don't want that to happen with Kevin." Love, averaging 20.3 points and an NBA-best 15.4 rebounds per game, didn't travel with the team after sustaining the injury in Minnesota's previous game, a 127-95 home loss to Sacramento on Sunday.

It would be a big blow to the wolves if love was done for the season but because they have nothing to play for and there's only 10 or so games left they might want to be cautious and keep him on the shelf anyway.

Damn.... Well it's not like they were playoff bound.... hopefully love can get out of their and head to boston....

MINNY 17 wins, only has 10 games left .... neck & neck with WASH 17 wins & SACR 18 wins for more Ping Pong Balls in the Lottery ....

Think CLEV with 13 wins has the most Balls tied up ;) .... but will drop in the Lottery to the 4th pick ... you watch

KLove should take his services to a playoff contender. KG couldn't get Minny out of the 1st round, how can KLove do it with the hopes riding on Rubio to leave Spain?

'Big blow'?Not to be mean, but how does this change the end result?Shut the kid down and consider trading him this off season for more talentNo big FA will voluntarily go to minny, its their only chance to get more talent

It wont change the end result yes I know and realize that but the Timberwolves are 3~23 lifetime without him. In the last 10 games wouldn't you want to finish strong and play for pride? Their record isn't great with him so what would it be like without him?

wolves will make wrong pick anyway, so their lottery position is sort of irrelevant.

You make great points and I agree why is it we always see KLove in team USA gear?

What I have read from some truth and rumor website is they are looking at Williams from Arizona if they get the second overall pick and Nolan out of Duke with the 18th, of course it???s way too early to tell but that is the first mock draft I have seen for the year.

I do hear you, but to be honest, if they fire rambis, as what's been reported, the new coach ain't playing the triangle, so its useless.I just think that the will go nowhere with this roster, the talent ain't there, so why not move love and try and mix up the talent pool and maybe you get lucky and find a couple of players

I think they should keep Love and build around him and be patient. Kevin Durants first 2 years in the league OKC didn't go anywhere but they were patient and realized a transformation from basement to legit playoff contender wasn't happening overnight and now look where they are. If minny is patient and give their young guys time and experience on a few years they could be very fois. The talent is certainly there.
