Love update: No hand scan now, will be re-evaluated next week

The clock is ticking on the season -- and whether or not we see Kevin Love in uniform again before the fall.

Kevin Love did not get his healing shooting hand scanned yesterday or today and will be re-evaluated sometime next week.

He is not expected to return to his New York City surgeon, so expect him to get his hand imaged sometime then and the results sent to his doctor to see if he will cleared for contact action.

That doesn't necessarily mean he won't play again this season, but the clock is ticking.

If he gets evaluated at the end of next week, that leaves about 12 days -- and eight games at the very most -- left in the season.

Love was told he'd be re-evaluated in two to three weeks when he visited his NYC surgeon earlier this month.

Next week will be three weeks.
