Michael Beasley won't play for the Timberwolves tonight, but Darko Milicic is back in the lineup and will start at center against Portland in a likely matchup against just-named Western Conference Player of the Week LaMarcus Aldridge.
Martell Webster is expected to play after missing the last five games and Jonny Flynn will start at point guard again while Luke Ridnour will come off the bench in his second game back after an absence.
Beasley is sitting out his fourth consecutive game because of that troublesome left ankle he first turned against these very same Blazers back on Jan. 7. It make sense to keep him out Wednesday against the Clippers, too, so he'd have another six days to rest that ankle before the Wolves come back from All Star break next week.
Blazers Brandon Roy and Marcus Camby both worked out before tonight's game but neither will play tonight.
