Kevin Love out 6-8 weeks with broken hand

MINNEAPOLIS -- Minnesota Timberwolves star Kevin Love will miss the next six to eight weeks after breaking his right hand in a workout on Wednesday.


The team made the announcement after practice, saying Love broke the third and fourth metacarpals on his shooting hand during a morning workout.

It's a crushing blow to the Timberwolves, who already will be without star point guard Ricky Rubio for at least the first six weeks while he recovers from a torn ACL in his left knee.

Damn thats horrible.

playoff chances gone that fast.

Don't think the playoff chances were ever really there just yet. Another year maybe

Probably going to be a low seed until both Rudio and Kevin Love get back. Maybe they can try and push from there but it may be too tough then. At least Love's fantasy value dropped a bit and maybe I could pick him up in a later round

I'd agree, after Love they really fall off 2-12. Including Rubio's injury, of course.

Brandon Roy to the rescue

i dont think they had a serious chance at making noise but couldve slipped in to the playoff race.
