Wolves reeling as LaVine ruled out for season

Young Minnesota Timberwolves star Zach LaVine will miss the rest of the NBA season after tearing a left knee ligament, the team said on Saturday.

LaVine was hurt in Friday's 116-108 loss at Detroit, in which he scored 20 points but departed after less than a minute of the fourth quarter after suffering what was first described as a knee contusion.

In a posting on the Timberwolves' website, the team said an MRI exam had revealed a torn anterior cruciate ligament that would require surgery at a date still to be determined.
