Flip Saunders said after Friday's morning shootaround in Oklahoma City that Kevin Garnett "for sure" will play tonight in Oklahoma City, but starting center Nikola Pekovic will be a game-time decision because of that ankle that limited him to eight minutes Wednesday in Phoenix.
That's the way it'll probably be here, a day to day situation depending on how much pain Pekovic is feeling in that ankle.
Without him for most of Wednesday's game, the Wolves relied upon newly acquired center Justin Hamilton to play 28 minutes off the bench.
Garnett hasn't played since Saturday's home victory over Portland.
