The Wolves will activate newcomer Nathan Jawai for tonight’s game against LeBron, Shaq and the Cavs at Target Center and will make veteran guard Jason Hart, who didn’t play Wednesday and won’t as long as Jonny Flynn and Ramon Sessions stay healthy, inactive.

UPDATE

A couple other things about tonight:

* Al Jefferson now, at least for these couple hours when he faces Shaquille O’Neal, wish he were his old self.

“I wish I could borrow them 30 pounds back, just for tonight,” he said of the weight he lost since he injured his knee last season.”

* LeBron James on Ricky Rubio, who started against James and the U.S. team in the Beijing Olympics title game in 2008: “He’s going to be really good and they should look forward to it. He was very under control. You can tell he’s been doing it (playing professionally) for a while. It helps when every summer you get a chance to play with Rudy (Fernandez) and Pau (Gasol) and Jose (Calderon) and the rest of those guys. So that definitely helps his maturity.”

* A reporter asked Kurt Rambis if any of his Lakers team had gone through “anything like this” horrid start?: 0-2? If I was them, I wouldn’t be worried at all. I just think by the end of the season I fully expect them to be right there in the playoff hunt for a ring. No one will look back at the start of the season and remember when. It’s just a product of starting the season, learning how to play together,  working out the kinks. There’s so much talent there, so much willingness to sacrifice, they’ll turn it around.”
