Barea, Beasley and others remain out tonight vs. Rockets

All of the Wolves' Injured Five remain out for tonight's game against Kevin McHale and the Rockets at Target Center.

Rick Adelman said after shootaround that he expects both J.J. Barea and Michael Beasley to miss all of this week.

For Barea, that means not be able to play Wednesday at Dallas, where he will receive his NBA championship ring in a ceremony that Mavs owner Mark Cuban scheduled purposely for his first visit back to town.

It's that hamstring that's bothering Barea again, the one he injured going for a layup in Milwaukee in the season's second game, back on Dec. 27.

It went again in 14 minutes of action on Wednesday against Detroit, his first game back from that sprained ankle he sustained falling into photographers on the baseline.

"I was awesome, I thought I was back," he said. "Then it happened again."

He worked for an extra 30 minutes after this morning's shoot

He said he will spend time in a hyperbaric oxygen while in Dallas and then probably back in the Twin Cities, too, to help his recovery.

"I'm a little hard-headed," he said. "I'm not patient enough. But now I'm going to be patient and try to get perfect...It's frustrating because I know how much I could help this team, doing what I do. I'm shooting the ball great. I never shot the ball like I've shot it this year in practice. It's frustrating, but it happens."

He'll get his NBA championship ring Wednesday in what will be purely a social visit to Dallas.

"That'll be awesome," he said. "I'll get to enjoy it. The pressure of not playing, I'll be able to talk to everybody, my friends, during the game. I wish I was playing, though. I'm not going to lie."

Beasley now will have missed 10 straight games with that sprained foot. He's able to jump off it now -- he couldn't do that last week -- but he hasn't practiced with the team at all (not that there's been much time) and likely won't play tonight, at Dallas or Friday against San Antonio.

"When it first happened, honestly, I wanted to play the next game," he said. "Sit out one or two games maybe, not 9 or 10. I'm going to get it 100 percent. "

As for Martell Webster and Brad Miller...

Adelman said both will practice Tuesday and Thursday and then will be evaluated to see if they can play perhaps starting Friday.

Rookie Malcolm Lee remains out indefinitely in his return from knee surgery to repair a torn meniscus knee ligament on Dec. 30.
