Wolves Updates

Marko Jaric says that it really is tendinitis in his left knee that put him on the inactive list on Saturday night and not issues with his recent lack of playing time.
"No," he said. "It really hurts, and that's the reason."

Yesterday was one of the few practices the team has gotten in since the trade:
"It's a lot of teaching, a lot of bonding from Kevin (Garnett) and the other guys on the team," newcomer Marcus Banks said. "Today was really like the first day of practice. It made it really fun."

The last time the Wolves (22-28) were this many games under .500 was Dec 1996.

Casey says the Wolves can still make the playoffs:
"Our goal is still to win the division, make the playoffs," Casey said. "Nobody is running away with it. We just have to get together, get our offensive and defensive schemes going."

T-Hud goes to Charlotte, NC tonight to have his ankle examined and figure out whether he needs surgery.

Ndudi Ebi made his first appearance with the Fort Worth Flyers on Friday, scoring 8 points and 2 rebounds in 24 minutes in their loss to the Tulsa 66ers.

The Wolves host the Raptors tonight.
