He also had surgery to remove a buildup of scar tissue from his left knee. However, the timetable on returning from this surgery is only 4-to-6 weeks so this is unlikely to impact his play next season. Expect Love to return next season, continuing his career as an effective fantasy producer.","date":"Fri May 10"},"fullName":"Kevin Love","seasonOutlook":{"outlook":"Smashing even the most optimistic expectations over the past two seasons, Love has turned into one of the premier fantasy players in the game thanks to his unique statistical diversity. Love proved that his breakout performance in 2010-11 was no fluke, finishing 5th on our Player Rater in 2011-12 with averages of 26.0 points, 13.3 rebounds, 0.9 steals, and 1.9 3-pointers on the year. In addition to his dominant scoring, rebounding and 3-point shooting, Love is also one of the best free throw shooters in the fantasy game, connecting on 82.4 percent in 8.4 attempts per game. A broken hand will keep Love out of action for the next 6-8 weeks and assuming a return in late November or early December, Love will miss at least the first 15 games of the season. A top-5 pick prior to the injury, Love looks more like a late second or early third round pick in fantasy leagues.","seasonId":2013,"date":"Thu Oct 18"},"positionRank":83}
