\nWolves preseason abroad TV schedule:<\/a>\n<\/div>\n


\nSaturday’s exhibition opener against the Turkish team Efes Pilsen
\nIstanbul will be shown tape delayed at 4:30 p.m. on NBA TV. Wednesday’s
\ngame against Kevin Garnett <\/b>and the Boston Celtics in London will be shown live by ESPN2 at 1:30 p.m.<\/i> \n<\/div>\n

\nRyan Gomes on an NBA Cares basketball court dedication<\/a> he participated in along with Theo Ratliff and Fred Hoiberg:\n<\/div>\n
\n
\nWe felt like rock stars because the kids were so excited to be around
\nNBA players. They didn’t want your autograph. They just wanted to
\nhigh-five you and they wanted to be around you. The people here know
\nHedo Turkoglu and Mehmet Okur (Turkish players in the NBA), but they’re
\nnot used to seeing NBA players every day, face to face.<\/i> \n<\/div>\n

\n <\/i>\n<\/div>\n

\n \n<\/div>\n
\nFrom Mike Cristaldi’s blog<\/a> at the team site: \n<\/div>\n
\nOn Wednesday, the Wolves only had one practice as the coaching staff
\ngave the team the night session off. Wittman was very complimentary of
\nhis team’s efforts thus far in training camp, and realized his team
\nneeded some rest.<\/i>\n<\/div>\n

 \n<\/p><\/div>\n

\n \n<\/div>\n
\nIn a conference call with the media,<\/a> Coach Wittman says about the team’s second-round pick:\n<\/div>\n
\nChris Richard has come in and established himself as a banger, and does
\nall of the dirty work. He’s rebounding the ball really well.<\/i>\n<\/div>\n
\n \n<\/div>\n
\nOn whether Al Jefferson was more "assertive" in practice yesterday, Coach Wittman said:\n<\/div>\n
\nToday he was much better. <\/i>\n<\/div>\n
\n \n<\/div>\n
\n \n<\/div>\n
\nFrom Mark Madsen’s blog at the Pioneer Press:<\/a>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\nRumor has it that the NBA is going to pay for the rim Chris Richard broke last night in practice. That way, Glen Taylor won’t have to write the check for that. Ha! After resolving that accident, we were graciously invited back there tomorrow night — to the same gym — if I understand correctly.  <\/i>\n<\/div>\n
\n \n<\/div>\n
\n \n<\/div>\n
\nFrom Rick Alonzo\/Pioneer Press:<\/a>\n<\/div>\n
\nCoach Randy Wittman said one of McCants’ hamstrings
\nbecame sore during a scrimmage Wednesday, and the third-year guard was
\nsidelined as a precaution. McCants warmed up and participated in drills
\nbut then noticed an issue.<\/span><\/i> \n<\/div>\n
\nTuesday night, McCants suffered what originally was described as a cramp during that practice and sat out.<\/span> <\/i>\n<\/div>\n
\n"We don’t want it to become a strain or a nagging
\ninjury," Wittman said. "You don’t know whether it’s the soreness from
\nthe cramp or if it’s the hamstring."<\/span><\/i>\n<\/div>\n
\n 
\n<\/i>\n<\/div>\n
\nAlso, Theo Ratliff returned to action Wednesday
\nafter being limited Tuesday by back stiffness…<\/span><\/i>\n<\/div>\n

\nCuriously, Juwan Howard, who after being acquired by the Timberwolves said he looked forward to playing with Kevin Garnett, said he hasn’t had any conversations with Garnett since he was traded to Boston.<\/i>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
