Kevin Love Broke His Hand Today and Will Be Out 6-8 Weeks

Remember that sweet highlight of Kevin Love I posted earlier? That awesome touch pass? Savor it Wolves fans because Love is going to miss the next 6-8 weeks after breaking his third and fourth fingers on his right hand today while working out. Just when Minnesota was ready to start their push towards respectability too.

It's too bad. Love showed the last couple seasons that he was in the discussion for the best power forward in the league, and then helped the U.S. team to basketball gold in the London Olympics.

The odd thing is that Love had to sit out a day after sleeping wrong on his arm just a couple of nights ago, and then he breaks his fingers while working out. Seems like his season is snake-bitten already. If he comes back on the quick side, Love will miss 14 games of the regular season, and if it takes the full eight weeks to heal, he'll miss 22 games according to SI.com. Without Love, Minnesota could be in too deep of a hole to dig out of by the time he comes back.
