Kevin Love is making what UCLA's athletic department calls "a significant financial contribution" to the university where he helped the Bruins reach the Final Four in his lone season.
The UCLA athletic department said Love's unspecified donation announced Tuesday matches the amount Russell Westbrook gave last December, which was the largest by a former Bruins basketball player in school history.
In return for his gift, UCLA's strength and conditioning facility to be located in the new Mo Ostin Basketball Center will be named for Love.
He led the Bruins to the Pac-10 regular-season and tournament titles and the Final Four during the 2007-08 season. Love left school early for the NBA draft, where he was selected fifth overall. He helped Cleveland win the NBA championship in June.
Love will be honored during UCLA's football game against Stanford at the Rose Bowl on Saturday.

Penn State linebacker out for season
Penn State linebacker Nyeem Wartman-White will miss the remainder of the season because of a right knee injury, coach James Franklin announced Tuesday.
The senior was hurt midway through Penn State's 34-27 win against Temple on Saturday. Although he was able to hop up, take a few high steps and walk off the field on his own, he did not return to the game and was spotted later with a full brace on his right leg.
It is the second-straight season-ending knee injury for Wartman-White, who missed all but three series last season because of a torn left ACL.
