Love Hoping To Play On Wednesday

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) -- Kevin Love is back practicing full-go with the Minnesota Timberwolves and says he is ready to return to the court against the Chicago Bulls on Wednesday night.

Love has missed the last three games with a strained left groin. He says "most likely all systems are a go" for the game against Chicago, but wants to see how his body responds to Tuesday's practice.

The NBA's leading rebounder says he never considered shutting it down for the rest of the season.

Love is averaging 20.3 points and 15.4 rebounds per game this season. Anthony Randolph filled in wonderfully the first two games, averaging 27.5 points and 13 rebounds. But he had just three points and struggled with foul trouble against the Celtics on Sunday.
