Jerry Zgoda missed the entire Kevin Garnett era, but he's back covering the Timberwolves after working the beat for their first four seasons two decades ago. In between, he covered a bit of everything: Gopher men's and women's basketball and NCAA athletics, golf, outdoor recreation, sports media and a little Vikings and Twins.
The Timberwolves have arrived in Milwaukee for tomorrow night's preseason finale without Martell Webster, Wesley Johnson and Sebastian Telfair.
Webster stayed behind because of that back problem that, Kent Youngblood reports from today's practice, could keep him out of Wednesday's season opener and beyond. See Kent's posting right before this one.
Johnson didn't go because of that hamstring that's affected him all preseason and Telfair stayed home because of a shoulder he injured when big Roy Hibbert collided with him in Tuesday's loss to the Pacers.
And, of course, Jonny Flynn (hip) didn't go, either.
