So much less hype and chatter (and wins?) without Rubio

Vs Sacramento -> @ Toronto -> @ Brooklyn looks like a promising start to 2012-13

Timberwolves point guard Ricky Rubio, who spent the past five weeks in Spain, will return soon for a checkup on his surgically repaired knee. Wolves President of Basketball Operations David Kahn said Rubio would return either Saturday or Sunday, and then go to Vail, Colo., for a checkup on the knee, which was operated on in March.

apparently Shved to Kirilenko was a common theme in Russia victory over Great Britain

Yep ^ and i REALLY like the look of Shved! deadly midrange game and can put the ball on the deck.

Will Rubio be back in time for the start of the season?

 

[Cebru]

Nope

If it was up to him, he'd be ready to go, but Medical staff say otherwise.. Doesn't seem like he'll be too far off though, I imagine early December. I cannot remember where I got this info, it may have been in either a Kahn or Adelman interview I saw during Summer League, or I read it somewhere fairly official.. If I could remember I'd link it, sorry

Thats a real shame, although mite mean i get to see Brandon Roy on court a bit more while im there!

Oh and tonight 1am (Perth time) is Brandon's press conference live.

The Minnesota Timberwolves today announced the team has signed free-agent guard Brandon Roy. Per team policy, terms of the contract were not disclosed. NBA.com

Yeah knew Roy was coming for a while now I'm excited by this years team, I really think it can compete for a playoff berth!!

Roy is a proven star, as long as his knee holds up, the wolves have got themselves a bargain!

 

[drobfan8]

I reckon they will definitely make the playoffs if healthy. They've made some solid moves.

Agree! K Love can only improve too!

Long as Kobe keeps his fucking knees outta the way

Kahn returned Thursday from Vail, Colo., where Ricky Rubio had a scheduled postsurgery checkup. Kahn said Rubio looked fit and was upbeat and the news on his knee was good. Rubio hasn't been cleared to run; that could come after the next scheduled update in mid-September. But Kahn said he expects Rubio to be on the floor with the team, in some form, when training camp starts in October. "At practice, he'll hopefully be able to do some noncontact things," Kahn said. "It's very important for him and for our team that he starts the season traveling, practicing, that he's here." Minneapolis Star-Tribune
