Personally could very much see them holding him out till the beginning of 2013, as a precaution seeing he's super young and at this point there is no need to rush him back.

Sħãlïq™ Posted October 20, 2012 Report Share Posted October 20, 2012 More details on it -- Kevin Love could return sooner than T'wolves expect After meeting with a specialist in New York on Thursday to examine his broken hand, Kevin Love could be cleared within a five-to-six-week window to return to the Minnesota Timberwolves, a league source told Yahoo! Sports. Love fractured two knuckles on his shooting hand while doing pushups Wednesday morning in his home. The Wolves issued a statement Thursday saying the rehab process remains six to eight weeks, but sources tell Y! there's a possibility that estimate will ultimately be on the long end. "While doing various pushups, including knuckle pushups, which are part of my regular workout routine, I hurt my hand," Love said in a statement. "I immediately knew something was wrong and called head athletic trainer Gregg Farnam."Source Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
