Our View: He would then need about a week of practice before being declared game ready. With Minnesota's season already lost, don't be surprised if he is out even longer, as they likely to exercise the utmost of caution. http://www.fantasysp.com/player/nba/Kevin_Love/651631 651631 Fri, 20 Nov 2009 16:35:02 EDT fanball.com 1 days 1 hours 57 minutes http://www.fantasysp.com/player/nba/Kevin_Love/651631 An X-Ray revealed that Kevin Love's broken hand is progressing, but he's still about two weeks from practicing and three weeks from playing in a game. Love did some outside shooting Friday, and though he says he feels almost no pain in his hand, he is unable to do anything physical.

He was able to do some outside shooting Friday and says that full contact practice is likely two weeks away.

Our View: The Timberwolves are off to a dreadful 1-10 start, and woefully out-muscled down low. Love's return certainly will not get Minnesota anywhere near a winning record, but should elevate them from the category of "automatic win" for opposing teams. As a rookie last season, he averaged nine rebounds and 11.1 points per game. http://www.fantasysp.com/player/nba/Kevin_Love/643261 643261 Mon, 16 Nov 2009 11:49:02 EDT fanball.com 5 days 6 hours 43 minutes http://www.fantasysp.com/player/nba/Kevin_Love/643261 Kevin Love (hand surgery) will have his hand X-rayed on Friday to determine whether it has healed enough for him to return to practice. The over/under on Love's return date seems to be around the end of November, meaning he shouldn't be on too many waiver wires at this point.

Our View: This would have him returning nearly a month ahead of schedule. With the T-Wolves thin up front, however, it would be great news for Minnesota. If his initial owner got impatient and dropped him, now is the time to add him to your roster. http://www.fantasysp.com/player/nba/Kevin_Love/631596 631596 Tue, 10 Nov 2009 10:14:01 EDT fanball.com 11 days 8 hours 18 minutes http://www.fantasysp.com/player/nba/Kevin_Love/631596 Kevin Love (hand surgery) hopes to return in two weeks, according to ESPN's Ric Bucher. ESPN's Ric Bucher reports that Love "says he'll be back in two weeks," though it's unclear whether that means practicing or playing in games.

"It all depends on how the X-rays look," Love said. "My hand feels much better after the stitches came out. I have more flexibility, but it's still tender."

Love's hand is healing a bit slower than he originally thought, so it seems safe to move his targeted return back to late-November.

He will get another X-ray in two weeks and if all goes well, should be cleared to practice at that point.

Love broke his hand in the preseason and had surgery on Oct. 20. Doctors told him to expect a recovery time of six to eight weeks. But Love said on Wednesday that he is hoping to be cleared to return to practice on Nov. 20. That's when doctors will review X-rays to check his progress. Love is scheduled to have stitches removed on Thursday. He is hoping the swelling will start to subside and he will regain mobility in his hand soon. Coach Kurt Rambis said it is too early to set a target date for Love to return to the court.
