Wolves
guard Randy Foye will get another test done on his injured kneecap
Monday to determine if the injury is finally healed. He said he has
been running and shooting pain-free and is convinced he will be cleared
to play.
 

Foye said he considers himself "five practices away" from being able to play in a game once he is cleared to play. 

 
 
 
Jefferson, who turned 23 Friday, is in his fourth NBA season since the Celtics drafted him 15th overall in 2004 out of Prentiss (Miss.) High School.
 
"It’s every NBA player’s dream to play in an
All-Star Game," he said. "Hopefully the coaches that double team me
every time we play them see that I deserve to be there. If it happens,
cool. If it doesn’t, that’s cool, too."
 
 
 
Coming into the game against Denver, these Wolves had lost six in a row and had just one win in the past 13 games.
 
"I would never have expected it to be like this," forward Craig Smith said. "Nor would anybody."
 
Wittman’s challenge now is to make sure he doesn’t suffer an even
bigger loss – that of his players’ attention in the locker room.
 
 
  
 
From SI,com:

Minnesota and New York have been playing poorly all season, owning two
of the worst records in the NBA. An obvious problem has been shooting,
as the league-worst Timberwolves ranked 27th in the league in field
goal percentage going into the weekend at 43.4 percent, one spot above
the Knicks (42.8).
 
Still, they can’t be afraid to keep hoisting ’em up.
 
"You’ve got to continue to take shots. That’s the one thing I don’t
want our guys to do – you can’t have guys turn down shots,” Minnesota
coach Randy Wittman said.
