Game previews:
Don Seeholzer/Pioneer Press on Sam Mitchell:
Mitchell, 45, will be back at Target Center on Sunday as part of the Wolves’ ongoing 20-year anniversary celebration and will be recognized during their afternoon (2:30) game against the Oklahoma City Thunder.
From Sid Hartman:
That was Fred Hoiberg, assistant general manager of the Timberwolves, sitting in the third row of the Metrodome, no doubt keeping a keen eye on the great performance of Kansas’ Cole Aldrich, a 6-11 center who scored 23 points (including eight dunks) in the Jayhawks’ 84-74 victory over North Dakota State on Friday.
Rules prevent Hoiberg or any NBA officials from commenting about a future draft choice, but there is no doubt that if Aldrich turns pro, he could be the center the team has been seeking for a long time.
