Timberwolves forward Kevin Love could soon begin practicing in the wake of a broken left hand.
He will see a doctor Thursday to determine if he's ready to practice.
"You can't put a date on it, but if the bone has healed like we hope it has, it should be shortly thereafter," Minnesota president of basketball operations David Kahn said Sunday.
The Timberwolves have missed the 9.1 rebounds per game Love provided last season.
"He's going to need a few practices, certainly, practices in which he gets hit," Kahn said. "But (Thursday) is an important date."

The Timberwolves are interested in forward Rudy Gay, sources told HoopsWorld.
Gay, who turned down a contract extension with the Grizzlies this past offseason, is set to become a restricted free agent after the season.
"I think he's going to regret that," the source said of Gay turning down a lucrative extension with Memphis. "I don't see how he gets more than that on the open market next summer."
good news, when Love is back we can see how our front court really works out, i think Love's ability to grab board and direct offense will free up Jefferson for more potent offensive moves
meanwhile, with a high flying wing like Gay, its not hard to foresee Love throwing lob pass to him and Brewer in transitions, which makes our game a bit more fun to watch
With a maturing Flynn, we could have this line up in 2 to 3 years
Jefferson / Peckovic
Love / Hollins
Gay / Gomes
Brewer / Sessions / Wilkens
Flynn / Rubio
thats a pretty nice core
