Minnesota Timberwolves owner Glen Taylor was re-elected chairman of the NBA Board of Governors today during the NBA's league meetings in New York. Taylor, who has owned the Timberwolves since 1995, was first elected chairman on Oct. 23, 2008. Before Taylor was elected chairman in 2008, he was a member of three Board of Governors committees: advisory/finance, planning and labor relations. The Wolves have made eight playoff appearances, including a trip to the Western Conference finals in 2003-04, under Taylor's ownership.
Love has surgery: Forward Kevin Love underwent successful surgery Tuesday evening in New York to repair a broken bone in his left hand.
Love, in his second season with the Timberwolves , broke the fourth metacarpal bone on a rebound attempt in the third quarter of Friday's NBA preseason game at Chicago.
The surgery was performed by Dr. Andrew Weiland of New York City's Hospital for Special Surgery. Weiland inserted three screws into Love's hand. Projected recovery time for Love is six to eight weeks.
Before the injury, Love was averaging 12.5 points and 11.5 rebounds in the preseason.
