While he’s yet to make a decision on whether his 2012-13 season is over due to injury, the thought has crossed the mind of Minnesota Timberwolves forward Kevin Love, according to Jerry Zgoda of The Star Tribune.“I’d say that has crossed my mind, but as far as making a decision, I haven’t made that decision yet,” he said.Love is set to have his injured hand scanned again in two to three weeks. The results will be sent to a surgeon, who will determine if the forward can play in the final weeks of the regular season. Love continues to hold out hope that he’ll be able to return this year.“The hand is great, my body feels great. It’s going to be a big offseason. Part of coming back [yet this season], you want to give the fans something, but you also want to do something for the team and yourself. You kind of want to see what you have here when you have a full team, and we really haven’t had that yet.”Love has broken his hand twice already this season, once in October and again in early January. He believes he’ll be able to return to game action soon after he is cleared for contact.Follow @hoopsinjurynews!function(d,s,id){var js,fjs=d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];if(!d.getElementById(id)){js=d.createElement(s);js.id=id;js.src="http://www.nbainjurynews.com//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js";fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js,fjs);}}(document,"script","twitter-wjs");
