From Jerry Zgoda/Star Tribune:
That would be about Nov. 20 and certainly on the lower end of the six-to-eight week time frame estimated when he broke the hand Oct. 16 at Chicago. It’d take him some practice time to get into playing shape even if the OK comes on the 20th.
Martin, who played for the Wolves in 1994-95, 1995-96 and 2003-04, was at the shootaround this morning dressed in the team’s practice gear for coaches. Martin was among several candidates brought in for interviews and a practice tryout during the preseason.
The Wolves are still trying to figure out how to win games. They’re not going to suddenly roll out a lengthy streak and challenge for a playoff seed.
Nonetheless Rambis is happy with the group he has, “I love the scrappiness of this team. They continue to fight. They continue to give good effort. We’re trying to get them to accept the identify of who they are. They’re going to have to be a high energy, scrappy, always giving those maximum efforts. I keep telling them sometimes it’s going to take that seventh, eighth, ninth, tenth effort in order to get the stops – in order to get the possessions we need. I really admire that quality about the guys.”
