Timberwolves PF Kevin Love down to 240 pounds

It's getting to be the time of year for "best shape of his life" stories from NBA training camps. Kevin Love has beaten the rest of the league to the punch, though, showing up to the Target Center at a trim 240 pounds this week.

Love had a playing weight of 250 pounds in 2012-13, when he managed just 18 games due to hand and knee injuries. Love has previously played at 260 pounds, his listed weight on NBA.com, as well.

The Timberwolves are hopeful that a healthy Love, who averaged 26 points and 13.3 rebounds in 2011-12 and made the All-NBA Second Team, can be the anchor for a young team with their eyes set on the playoffs.
