Injured Timberwolves forward Chase Budinger will speak by phone with his Florida knee surgeon Tuesday, hopeful he’ll be cleared to practice again with his teammates soon thereafter. On Wednesday, two-time All Star Kevin Love will revisit his New York City surgeon seeking clearance to play with a healing right shooting hand he has broken not once but twice this season. 布丁哥希望醫生能給予好消息，他希望能再次與隊友上場練球。 愛也在確定當中。 Both could be back playing games within two weeks, three weeks at most for Budinger. 他們最少要兩週才能回歸，布丁哥可能最多會拉到三週。 With such similar timetables, could both such long-awaited returns possibly come on the same night? 他們到底能不能同時登場? “You never know,” Love said. “You never know.” Love直接肯定的表示：「未來的事很難說，未來的事真的很難說。」 Either way, both hope to play at least the season’s final 15 games, Love perhaps a little more than that. 他們都希望至少能打至少15場球，Love更希望能打多場一點。 Love said he’ll join the team in Houston the Friday after his Wednesday’s doctor’s visit. He said he won’t play immediately that night even if he does get doctor’s clearance —like he did when he came back the first time in November — because he had surgery this time, on Jan. 15. But probably not too terribly long after that … Love回歸日期很難說，這是顧慮到上一次經驗關係，但不會讓渴望 的灰狼球迷等太久。 “It’s really up to the doctor and myself and Glen and David,” he said, referring to owner Glen Taylor and basketball President David Kahn. “But until I see what the doctor says, I just won’t know.” Love：「難說，回歸可能性要關關來，除了自己感覺還有球團意思。」 What would Ricky do? Budinger said expects to play a game within two to three weeks and said Ricky Rubio’s return from a different kind of knee surgery has encouraged him about his own comeback. 布丁看到Ricky的場上狀況讓他對於自己的傷勢保持樂觀以待。 “It feels great to see him and see how well he’s progressing since when he first came back,” said Budinger, who sustained a lateral meniscus tear in his left knee on Nov. 10 at Chicago. “You saw he was babying it a little bit at first. He says just take your time and really focus on rehab and getting it strong. Just really take your time. Like he says, time heals all.” 布丁哥：「看看Ricky對待自己傷勢的方法，除了時間以外就是用心照料著他。」 Also out injured… Wolves starters Andrei Kirilenko (strained calf) and Nikola Pekovic (abdominal strain) on Wednesday sat out the first of three games they’ll miss this week. They’ll both be re-evaluated after Sunday’s game against Dallas. AK47與Peko這周都不會上場，星期日對上小牛後會在對他們的狀況作出評估。 Wizards rookie Bradley Beal did not play because of a sprained ankle sustained Sunday against Philadelphia. 火熱Beal面對灰狼這場不會上場。 Turning back the clock Former Wolves coach Randy Wittman returned to Target Center on Wednesday leading a Wizards team that has four coaches who were part of that 2003-04 Wolves team that reached the Western Conference semifinals during Kevin Garnett’s MVP season. Wittman, Don Zierden and Jerry Sichting all were part of Flip Saunders’ coaching staff and Wizards assistant coach Sam Cassell starred alongside Garnett and Latrell Sprewell. ●那些從前.................. 巫師隊教練Wittman曾是灰狼最輝煌球季的球練團成員之一，他的助理教練 外星人Sam Cassell與鎖喉手Latrell Sprewell和狼王Kevin Garnett組成當時球季 西區最強連線，MVP叫做Garnett。 --
