Kevin Love Out, 6-8 Weeks, Broken Hand

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) – 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.
     Love is a two-time All-Star who led the team in scoring and
rebounding last season. He also played a key role in Team USA’s
march to the gold medal in the London Olympics.
     The injury likely means more playing time for Derrick Williams.
