Minnesota Timberwolves All-Star forward Kevin Love's season is done, as new reports suggest he will undergo season ending arthroscopic surgery on his left knee.
According to a Yahoo! Sports report, Wolves President of Basketball Operations David Kahn told the team's website he "believes the procedure will take place on Wednesday in New York City," with Love's recovery expected to take four to six weeks.
More from Kahn:
"I think disappointment will suffice for now, I can't think of a better word," Kahn said. "But as he put it, I'll put it in more reader friendly words, it's been one heck of a season. He feels very badly about it, which is understandable." [...]
"As time went on, with the intent of playing this season, the knees started hurting more," Kahn said. "It got to the point over the last few days that it should be addressed now. It was affecting his ability to run, even. At that point we tipped the balance toward we should do it now." [...]
"That's why we're doing it now as opposed to the end of the season," Kahn said. "So I think it's been there for a while, and I think this should clean it up for the long haul. And I imagine his knee will be pain free and his hip will be pain free once he recovers."
This just adds more frustration and disappointment for the franchise who were hoping to have their driving core; made of Love, Ricky Rubio, Andrei Kirilenko and Nikola Pekovic running the floor bringing the Wolves back into playoff contention.
So far this season the four of them have only managed to play a total of 12 minutes together due to a series of injury setbacks.
