Monday update

The Timberwolves are San Antonio bound at this moment. I don’t know if Mike Miller is traveling with the team. But he was walking pretty slow today on that bum right ankle he injured Saturday night and surely will not play tomorrow night. Coach Kevin McHale officially said Miller is “day-to-day” but you can bet there will be no rush to get him back this time. Remember, he sprained the same ankle Dec. 3 and came back nine days later. He matched his jersey number by playing 33 minutes in that game, and McHale cringed when he saw the final count. Expect no such situation this time around.
McHale also said today that Sebastian Telfair’s return to the lineup is coming. Telfair has not played a second in the Wolves past two games. Sounds like Kevin Ollie’s presence at point guard has been because of a mix of veteran leadership and hard work paying off. And with Miller out, you can expect more doses of Ollie.
Jerry’s en route to Texas and will have all your Wolves news from there tomorrow. He’s also headed to New York on the 26th. I’m off until Saturday’s game against the Magic.
Happy Holidays, everyone. Talk with you Saturday.
