Ridnour's injury leaves Wolves thin at the point

MINNEAPOLIS See the point guard collapsed on the court, clutching his right ankle? The one the Minnesota Timberwolves struggled to replace in the fourth quarter of Monday's 116-108 loss in Sacramento, the one who'd denied injuries for weeks despite bruises and ice packs, constant stiffness and pain?He was supposed to be traded. At least, that's what speculation said...

Ridnour is added to the Wolves' list of injuries

It was one injury too many. Blink, and you missed it. But count the players on the court in the final minutes of the third quarter of Monday's 116-108 loss to Sacramento, and there was something off. Instead of following the pack of players down the hardwood, point guard Luke Ridnour lay writhing on the sideline, clutching his right ankle, which just moments later the team confirmed...

Ridnour, bench carry Wolves to .500 at break

MINNEAPOLIS The baby blue towel said it all. As his team mounted its comeback against Utah in the fourth quarter, Minnesota Timberwolves guard Ricky Rubio could barely watch. This had happened so many times before, failed so many times before, that the narrative must have been getting old. But unlike during those other comebacks, Rubio was hunched on the bench, the baby blue towel...

Video: Luke Ridnour Game Winning Buzzer Beater

I guess the three point guard system in Minnesota is working.  The Timberwolves defeated the Utah Jazz thanks to this floater from Luke Ridnour as time expired. GM David Kahn has received a lot of flack over the years, but this Timberwolves team is playing some impressive ball.  Heading into the All-Star break, the T’Wolves aren’t that far out from a playoff spot.  Can...

Turns out Ridnour thrives alongside Rubio

MINNEAPOLIS -- With his downturned gaze and slight figure, Luke Ridnour's 6'2" frame is just average enough to render him normal. He'd be hard to recognize on the street, where many NBA players draw stares for nothing more than their sheer size, and there aren't crowds of fans wearing Ridnour jerseys dotting the stands at the Target Center each night at least...

Video: Westbrook breaks Ridnour's ankles

Poor, poor Luke Ridnour. Guy just got absolutely punked by Russell Westbrook in yesterday's Thunder-Timberwolves season opener. It's always entertaining to watch a guy fall victim to a nasty crossover, especially when his ankles give out and he goes crashing to the floor. Fortunately for Ridnour, he has 65 more games to try and make people forget about this embarrassing incident...
