The Wolves finish this trip that started Saturday in Chicago tonight at the FedEx Forum, where the Wolves trail 66-59 at halftime, but Al Jefferson already has scored 21 points on 10-for-12 shooting.
Kurt Rambis keeps maintaining that Jefferson likely won't be back completely from that knee surgery for a full year after he first suffered it.
That would be Feb. 8.
No telling what he might score by then.
Grizzlies coach Lionel Hollins finally has granted Marc Gasol a reprieve and put Zach Randolph on Big Al in an attempt to contain him.
