Timberwolves forward Kevin Love has been suspended for 2 games after he stomped on the face and chest of Houston forward Luis Scola.  Scola was knocked to the floor in the 3rd quarter in Saturday’s game against Minnesota and Love turned up court only to stomp on Scola’s face and chest.  Love apologized to Scola after the game and issued a statement through the Wolves Monday apologizing to management, coaches, players and fans.

Love will miss tonight’s game against Sacramento and tomorrow night’s game at Memphis.  Derrick Williams and Anthony Tolliver are expected to see increased minutes with Love out.  The Timberwolves host Sacramento at 7pm tonight, pregame on WJON at 6:30.
