Greetings from Target Center, where the Wolves and Suns will tip off momentarily.
Here are a few pre-game notes:
--Kevin Garnett is slated to have his post-trade physical in Los Angeles. He will arrive in Minneapolis Monday, practice with the team Tuesday and make his debut Wednesday.
--Starting at power forward tonight: Anthony Bennett, who gets his third start this season. The time is now for Bennett to show he's ready to bring it 100 percent every night.
--Shabazz Muhammad will be able to play despite a sore finger on his shooting hand.
--We should all get to see the Wolves debut of Adreian Payne and Gary Neal tonight.
That's about it for now. I'll get back to you after the game.
