T-Wolves Hurting Entering Weds. Action

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) – The banged-up Minnesota Timberwolves aren’t
getting any reinforcements for their game against the Charlotte
Bobcats.
     Center Nikola Pekovic, shooting guard Brandon Roy and point
guard J.J. Barea all were scratched for the game on Wednesday with
injuries, leaving the Wolves with just nine healthy players.
     Pekovic sprained his left ankle against Dallas on Monday night.
Roy is missing his third straight game with a sore right knee and
Barea will be out for the fourth straight game with a sprained left
foot. Swingman Chase Budinger had surgery on his left knee this
week and will miss three to four months.
     On top of it all, All-Star Kevin Love (broken hand) and point
guard Ricky Rubio (knee) have yet to play this season while they
recover from injuries.
