Alexey Shved not traveling with T-Wolves, out Monday
The Minnesota Timberwolves' injury woes continue to pile up: Alexey Shved is out Monday and questionable for Wednesday with an ankle injury.
T-Wolves reporter Mark Remme reports that Shved isn't making the trip to Atlanta. He's day-to-day with no timetable.

Chris Johnson And Mickael Gelabale Sign 10-Day Contracts, Earn MVP Chants In First Game
When I learned that Chris Johnson and Mickael Gelabale had been signed to 10-day contracts by the Minnesota Timberwolves on Saturday morning, I suspected that they’d likely see action that same evening against the Houston Rockets. After all, each player was acquired purely out of necessity — with only seven healthy bodies available, the Wolves needed at least one additional...

This is the state of the Timberwolves these days. There are too few players to practice and the coaches are too young not to jump in, even if their 40- and...

Timberwolves-Hawks Preview
The Atlanta Hawks and Minnesota Timberwolves are having trouble putting enough healthy bodies on the court.
The Timberwolves ended an 11-game slide to the Hawks earlier this season, but it's anybody's guess as to what to expect in Monday's rematch in Atlanta.
There were eight players out for Minnesota (17-20) as it surprisingly snapped a five-game slide with Saturday...
