Robbie Hummel: Fractures Fourth Metacarpal In Hand

Hummel suffered a non-displaced fracture of the fourth metacarpal in his right hand during Sunday's game against the Hawks.

Analysis:

The injury to Hummel's dominant hand will presumably keep him out for an extended period, which could lead to more playing time for Chase Budinger and Anthony Bennett. Hummel was dropped from the starting lineup for Sunday's game, with the Timberwolves opting for a Nikola Pekovic-Gorgui Dieng pairing up front.
