Way out of shape, Darko nonetheless will make Wolves' debut tonight

Newly acquired center will play first game since Nov. 13

Darko Milicic didn't declare himself fit after this morning's shootaround. Neither did Kurt Rambis.

But Milicic still will play some tonight against Oklahoma City at Target Center.

He'll come off the bench, of course, and how much he plays depends how badly he's searching for oxygen.

MIlicic talked to us media types for about 13 minutes after the shootaround and admitted the trade to the Wolves angered him because he wanted the Knicks to just pay him off and let him go home to Serbia.

He said he planned to make the best of his Timberwolves' experience -- not with the greatest enthusiasm -- and although you never say never, he made it sound like there's no chance he'll be in the NBA next season.
