    Ricky Rubio Could be Back for Timberwolves Monday

    If not, then almost certainly Wednesday. Same for Mo Williams.


    Wolves coach Flip Saunders is "hopeful" that both Ricky Rubio (ankle) and Mo Williams (hip) will play vs. Dallas on Monday.

    Saunders said that he'll give Rubio "a few minutes" in his return, whether that comes on Monday or Wednesday, and Lorenzo Brown gives the Wolves an insurance policy at PG. Although instant top-60 production isn't feasible, Rubio's owners can look forward to a very productive stretch after the All-Star break. Check back after shootaround for updates on Rubio, Williams and Zach LaVine (ankle).

    NBA has too many games. They would be better of only playing 50 games or so

    Minny without Rubio, Pekovic and Martin for long stretches so far this season. They would not be in hunt for playoffs even with those guys healthy so good for tanking purposes.

    Rubio is not very good. Nice passer who can do nothing else.

    regular season is too long. These guys arent really hurt they just prefer sitting on the bench and watching games court side.

    I'll take the over if Rubio sees any minutes, add rondo is out so they'll be ms sing his defense. This one is going way over the total.

    Both came back Monday although Williams played more minutes while coming off the bench (26) than Rubio, who started, did (21).

    T wolves are young. They will have to build around wiggins and Rubio. Should be good with the draft picks.

    Rubio and his 5 point a game is not a contributor with his weak defense and turnovers.. sit on the bench and be ready to get kick off the team..

    Agree. Rubio was a huge bust. Guy is a nonfactor.

    Wonder when he'll get his minutes bumped up? He's looked solid in limited minutes, but the Wolves have no reason to rush him back into the lineup. Check out their upcoming schedule - CRAZY tough the next few weeks, pretty much guaranteed to go winless in Feb...

    I hope he can stay healthy, they have some promising young talent and could really have a chance to be good if they have some time to play and grow together.

    Can 10 turnovers count for 1 category?
