Minnesota Scene: Wolves' Bjelica expected to miss Olympics

The Serbian basketball federation reportedly has said Timberwolves forward Nemanja Bjelica will miss the Rio Olympics because of a right foot injury.

The injury, described as an inflamed nerve that needs at least three more weeks to heal, kept Bjelica out of the Olympic qualifying tournament.

The 6-10, 240-pound Bjelica averaged 5.1 points and 3.5 rebounds in 60 games as a Wolves rookie last season.

His right foot proved a problem during the season; he was forced to miss 11 games from February into March with what was called a foot strain.

K.D. Kang hit two home runs and drove in four runs and Dustin Geiger hit two home runs with three RBI in leading Fargo-Moorhead to a 14-6 victory over the St. Paul Saints at CHS Field.

The defeat ended the Saints' franchise-record 10-game home winning streak.

Although their point totals were identical, Martin won on a tiebreaker. Martin was competing on the track owned by his parents. Alex Martin, his older brother, was third and fourth in the two races to place third overall.

"Anytime you are able to win your hometown race in front of family and friends is a special moment," Jeremy Martin said.

Ken Roczen of Mattstedt, Germany, won both 450-class races.
