Minnesota Timberwolves big man Al Jefferson will play in the opener on Wednesday night against New Jersey despite battling an Achilles injury in recent weeks.
Jefferson said Tuesday that he has practiced pain free for the past two days and will definitely be in the lineup against the Nets.
Kurt Rambis said both players were feeling better today than yesterday and said if they’re feeling well enough to attend tomorrow morning’s shootaround, “there’s no reason they shouldn’t play” against New Jersey.
“We hired an expert to let the expert do what he’s going to do,” Moor said. “My job is to enable him as much as possible; when he needs something, we’ll just go out and see how we can get it done.”
Moor said the Wolves are providing Kahn with the financial resources to be successful.
“In this day and age, we’re trying to run fiscally responsibly,” he said. “But one thing you can say about (owner) Glen Taylor — he’s never been stingy when somebody comes to him and says, ‘We’d like to get this player.’ He’s never held back.”
