T-Wolves Love snubbed from NBA All-Star game
Minnesota Sports-- Reserves for this month's NBA All-Star Game were announced yesterday, but Timberwolves star Kevin Love was not among them.
TORONTO - Reserves for this month's NBA All-Star Game were announced yesterday, but Timberwolves star Kevin Love was not among them.
Blake Griffin, Tim Duncan, Manu Ginobili, Dirk Nowitzki, Pau Gasol, Deron Williams and Russell Westbrook will be reserves for the West. Duncan made the squad despite career lows in season scoring and rebounding averages. Former Wolves star Kevin Garnett was named a reserve on the Eastern Conference roster. Love could still be named as an injury replacement for Rockets center Yao Ming, who is out for the season. That replacement player will be named by NBA Commissioner David Stern. He will likely decide amongst Love, Portland 's LaMarcus Aldridge, and the Lakers' Lamar Odem.
