    That leaves us a little short handed.

    Wally needs time to rest, so don't get frustrated with him. He needs to heal properly as an athlete.

    Like Flip said, it's a nuisance injury, it's going to be one he's going to play with anyway. If Flip is dissing him, you know there is something wrong.

    Yes, but lets work him into the rotation slowly, and not so quickly. As long as the core of the Wolves is intact (the "sick six") during the playoffs, I think the Wolves will surivive.

    Here is something about Hudson from the Associated Press:

    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Timberwolves coach Flip Saunders expects guard Troy Hudson (sprained right ankle) to be out at least two more weeks. ``He's not any better than we thought he'd be,'' Saunders said.</div>

    I think it is key for the Wolves not to rush Waly back too soon. Foot injuries take some time to heal. Its better to let it rest now and get back up close to 100% then to rush him into playing, and he gets injured even worse.

    Especially this early in the season, its better to be safe, than sorry.
