The chances that Kevin Love will play again this year for the Timberwolves seems to be shrinking.
Today, the Wolves said Love’s broken right hand is “healing properly,” and will be evaluated in 2-3 weeks.
#Twolves' @kevinlove met w/ Dr. Michelle Carlson of Hospital for Special Surgery in NY today.

According to Star Tribune beat writer Jerry Zgoda, that might put Love back on the court for eight games, perhaps 12 at the most, as the season draws to a close.
