All the injury news is not bad for the Wolves.
Yes, they lost another player on Sunday night when Robbie Hummel broke his shooting hand, but they learned before tonight's back-to-backer at Oklahoma City that Thunder superstar Kevin Durant won't play because of a big toe he sprained on his left foot yesterday in Cleveland.
Of course, that still leaves Russell Westbrook and the others.
Hummel's injury means Chase Budinger will play more and probably means Glenn Robinson III will get some playing time as well.
Flip Saunders is staying with the same big lineup he used last night in Atlanta. That means Gorgui Dieng at power forward beside Nikola Pekovic at center, with Thad Young moved over to small forward while Andrew Wiggins and Mo Williams start in the backcourt.
Kevin Martin returned to shooting and apparently shot the lights out with his limit of 100 shots. He said he is targeting his return Wednesday at Target Center if he gets another good workout in tomorrow.
