Don Seeholzer/Pioneer Press on Randy Foye:
The Minnesota Timberwolves’ starting shooting guard didn’t accompany the team on its two-game West Coast road trip because of a lingering bone bruise in his hip and coach Kevin McHale wasn’t optimistic about Foye’s chances of returning in the final three games.
“I’ve asked him to try a couple things differently that I want to see if he can kind of take to the court,” McHale said. “But I would say as of right now it doesn’t look too promising that he’ll get out there at any time.”
That’s a prospect that Foye, who has missed the past four games, isn’t ready to accept.
The Wolves might not have much to play for, but he said he’s determined to get back on the court.

Here’s something else we’ve learned: it doesn’t look like the Wolves have an actual starting point guard on their roster. This rough season seems to have taken a toll on Sebastian Telfair’s play. He and Gomes appear to be the Wolves most troubled by the constant losing; as the year has worn on, Telfair has become more and more demonstrative of his frustration–with the officials, with his teammates with the almost helpless state the team finds itself in. And he also, understandably, seems to be trying to overcompensate for the team’s injury-fueled lack of scoring. You can see this frustration pervade his expressions and body language when, like on Sunday, the game starts to get away from the Wolves. His face becomes a mask; his body becomes hyperkinetic; he shoots too much; he dribbles too much; he turns it over. The problem is that both success and failure can get him into this mode.
