MANILA, Philippines — Minnesota Timberwolves star Kevin Love has arrived in the Philippines for this weekend’s Master Game Face Challenge festivities.

Love, who is visiting the basketball-crazed country for the first time, landed at Ninoy Aquino International Airport at a little past 4:30 in the afternoon on Thursday.

The six-foot-10 rebounding machine is scheduled to visit Manila Boystown on Friday to conduct a basketball clinic among the residents of the community.

He will then grace the Master Game Face game, which is spiced up by the match up of Chris Tiu and Marc Pingris, on Saturday at the Smart Araneta Coliseum.
