MINNEAPOLIS (AP) -- Minnesota Timberwolves forward Kevin Love has left the game against Memphis with a left knee injury.
Love was hurt late in the third quarter on Saturday when Grizzlies forward Zach Randolph lost his balance and rolled into the side of Love's leg.
Love writhed on the floor in pain before walking to the locker room with assistance from an athletic trainer.
He was out for the first 18 games of the regular season because of a broken bone in his left hand, and his rebounding and passing skills were clearly missed by Minnesota during that time.
Love entered the night averaging 15.4 points, 11.8 rebounds and 30.2 minutes per game.
