Timberwolves president of basketball operations Flip Saunders said he expects Kevin Love in Minnesota next year.
“The last I knew Kevin was under contract with us, and I expect him to be playing for us next year,” Saunders said Sunday after a workout of draft prospects. “I don’t really dictate where guys go on vacation or what they do. They can go wherever they want to go.”
Love can opt out of his contract after next season, and the three-time All-Star has yet to make the playoffs in six years with the Timberwolves. That’s led many to believe that he will leave next summer to play for a contender in a bigger market.
