You read that right. Kevin Love broke two bones in his right hand doing knuckle pushups during a workout at his condo on Wednesday with personal trainer Rob McClanaghan.

Love visited a doctor in New York, who confirmed that no surgery will be necessary. The timeline -- Love will return in 6-8 weeks -- remains in place.
