Wolves guard Kevin Ollie is out for at least the next three weeks because of that elbow he dislocated less than four minutes into Saturday’s victory at Chicago.

The team’s starting point guard visited the doctor Monday morning and will be evaluated again in three weeks.

Until then, the Wolves’ options appear to be:

* Make do with Sebastian Telfair and Randy Foye, who has played much better since he has played off the ball with either Ollie or Telfair.

* Trade for another point guard.

* Waive or buy out one of the players on their currently filled 15-man roster out — Calvin Booth? — and sign a point guard from the D League or elsewhere.

If I had to guess, I’ll go with the last option.
