Wolves point guard Randy Foye will be re-examined Jan. 7 to determine
how his left knee injury is progressing, coach Randy Wittman said. The
Wolves are hoping that he will be cleared to resume all basketball
activities if the stress reaction in his kneecap has healed. Foye
likely will need at least a week of practice, and maybe longer, to
regain his conditioning before he can play in a game.

figure that ranked second in the NBA behind New Orleans’ Tyson
Chandler. Jefferson is on pace to break the Wolves’ franchise record
for offensive rebounds.

That Minnesota record is owned by Felton Spencer, who grabbed 3.4 a game in 1990-91.
Wittman compares the Trail Blazers’ work a season ago to his team’s situation this season.
"That’s the process we’re in," he said. "We’ve got to figure out who
we’re going to move forward with, decide what pieces we’re going to
keep and what pieces we’re going to change and do that. They’ve done a
good job. Give them a lot of credit."
