MINNEAPOLIS - Minnesota Timberwolves guard Brandon Roy practiced once again with the team yesterday as he works his way back from early season knee surgery.
Roy said he felt good on the court during the five on five scrimmages and will go through another practice today to see where he is at. Minnesota Head Coach Rick Adelman said Roy went through the entire practice on Thursday, but at this time there is no timetable for his return.
The Timberwolves have dropped two straight games and are 13-13 on the season after James Harden rallied Houston to an 87-84 win on Wednesday, scoring 17 of his 30 points in the fourth quarter. Coack Adelman says one reason Minnesota has struggled late in games is because due to all the injuries the team has suffered they are still searching for a late game identity.
The T-Wolves host the struggling Phoenix Suns on Saturday.
