Wolves’ Hummel Out 4-6 Weeks With Broken Hand

It must be law: The Timberwolves get one player back from injury and another one goes out.

And so it went during Sunday’s 112-100 loss at Atlanta, where reserve forward Robbie Hummel broke his shooting hand just three games after center Nikola Pekovic returned from a 31-game absence.

The Wolves termed Hummel’s injury a nondisplaced fracture of the fourth metacarpal in his shooting hand. He said he expects to miss four to six weeks after he hit it during a collision at third quarter’s end.
