MINNEAPOLIS -- All-Star forward Kevin Love missed Minnesotas game against Portland because of a bruised left quadriceps, and starting point guard Kevin Martin also was out Saturday night because of a broken left thumb that will sideline him indefinitely. Josh Doctson Jersey . During halftime, Love told The Associated Press he would receive treatment Saturday night and hoped to play Monday night against Houston. "I knew that my quad was bothering me pretty bad so I went out there and tried to move around a little bit and it just wasnt quite right," Love said. Love limped noticeably a couple hours earlier, but the team didnt announce he would miss the game until just before tipoff. Earlier, he told reporters he took a knee from New Orleans Greg Steimsma on Friday night in Minnesotas road loss. Before the injury was announced, Love -- averaging 25.6 points and 13.3 rebounds -- said he had no plans of skipping the All-Star game. "There was a number of things that happened late in the fourth quarter, getting back late last night, travelling and then just not getting enough treatment before tonight," Love said. "So well just get back and do some more treatment tonight get in tomorrow and then hopefully be ready Monday night." Martin was hurt Friday in the closing minutes of the Timberwolves 98-91 loss. X-rays taken Saturday morning revealed the fracture. Martin is averaging 19 points, 3.3 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 32.3. The Timberwolves also are without starting centre Nikola Pekovic. Hes sidelined by bursitis in his right ankle. All three players were in street clothes behind the bench. "Thats like making up 60 points there and a number of rebounds and a lot of firepower," Love said. "So we just need to get everybody back quickly as we can and I think Ill probably be the first." Brandon Scherff Jersey .com) - Bradley Beal deposited a season-high 33 points and John Wall posted another double-double as the Washington Wizards went on the road and beat the Houston Rockets, 104-103. Sonny Jurgensen Jersey . -- Kansas City Royals first baseman Eric Hosmer will be out three to six weeks with a stress fracture of the third finger of his right hand.JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - Jacksonville Jaguars cornerback Aaron Colvin felt a little numb the last 10 months.It started when he tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee during the second Senior Bowl practice in January. It continued after he fell to the fourth round of the NFL draft in May. And it surely didnt help that he spent the first 11 weeks of the NFL season on the sideline, waiting for a chance to get back on the field.All that bottled-up emotion came out Sunday after he picked up a fumble and raced 41 yards the other way for his first NFL touchdown.Colvin danced in the end zone, on the sideline and again in the locker room.The Jaguars (2-10) should be the ones really celebrating. Although its still early, the former Oklahoma standout looks like a draft-day steal for the rebuilding franchise.The touchdown was a great feeling, Colvin said. Everything paid off. I had a smile on my face the whole day. Everything was surreal.Colvins scoop and score was a huge play in the 25-24 victory over the New York Giants. It put Jacksonville ahead for the first time after trailing 21-0 late in the second quarter. It also gave the Jaguars two defensive scores in the same game for the first time in franchise history.But it wasnt the rookies only play that caught coach Gus Bradleys eye.Bradley said Monday that Colvin covered the slot so well that Giants quarterback Eli Manning had to move to a different read at least four times.Hes done a nice job, Bradley said. He had a big impact now. There were multiple times where Eli went back and was going to try and hit the slot. By the way he played it, it took that read away and he went to the other side, so you saw him have an impact in that way. His grade was close to every four plays he had an impact on the game, and thats really difficult to do at the nickel position.Its pretty coool to see how hes come along. Doug Williams Jersey. Bradley said Colvin could end up emerging as a starter opposite former seventh-round draft Demetrius McCray. McCray has been impressive since replacing injured veteran Alan Ball and could be a long-term solution in Bradleys aggressive, bump-and-run defensive scheme.Colvin could be another piece, possibly replacing up-and-down starter Dwayne Gratz.As he progresses, that will be something that we look at, Bradley said. But right now I think the learning curve for him at nickel everything is new to him. He did much better (Sunday), so I would say as he progresses he could be a guy that gets some looks on the outside as well.It surely wouldnt surprise Colvin, whose confidence never wavered through the injury.Whenever I play, Im going to make plays there, he said.Since Colvin expected to be a first-round draft pick, he was somewhat disappointed when he was still on draft boards in the fourth round. He even forgot a conversation he had with Bradley at the NFL Combine in February. Colvin was a month removed from knee surgery and in Indianapolis to meet with teams when Bradley pulled him aside and said, We still love you. Im going to come get you. You can bank on that.Colvin forgot about the conversation — until the Jaguars called him on draft day.He spent the next six months getting back to full speed and finally made his NFL debut Nov. 23 at Indianapolis. He finished with one tackle.His second game was much more memorable.It felt great, he said. It kind of just brought me back a little and opened my eyes that everything paid off. It took me a lot to get here — 11 months of rehab. The first game, theres always going to be growing pains, but I harp on myself to get better and come back the next week and make plays.___AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP_NFL NFL Jerseys Wholesale Wholesale Jerseys Free Shipping NFL Jerseys China Wholesale Jerseys 2019 Cheap Jerseys Free Shipping Cheap NFL Jerseys Wholesale Cheap Jerseys 2020 ' ' '
