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...

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Luke Ridnour will sit out Wednesday night's game against the Dallas Mavericks with a sore knee. Ridnour scored 17 points in 36 minutes in Monday's loss to Houston. He is averaging a career-high 12.7 points in 17 games this season.

NEWARK, N.J. (AP) -- Luke Ridnour made the tiebreaking 3-pointer with 1:23 left, Nikola Pekovic scored a career-high 27 points, and the Minnesota Timberwolves beat the New Jersey Nets 108-105 on Friday night. The Timberwolves overcame a career-high 42 points from Anthony Morrow, whose eight 3-pointers in 11 attempts were the most in the NBA this season. Kevin Love added 20 points...

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...

It's been six seasons since the Minnesota Timberwolves had a winning record after 25 games. If they are to achieve that feat again, they must do it without their best player. Looking to move above .500 with a third straight victory, the Timberwolves will be without suspended star Kevin Love on Tuesday night when they try to snap the visiting Sacramento Kings' season-high...

Luke Ridnour will be day-to-day with a mild case of embarrassment.

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) -- Kevin Love scored 25 points and grabbed 18 rebounds and Luke Ridnour added 22 points to lead the Minnesota Timberwolves over the Houston Rockets 100-91 on Saturday night. Minnesota won for the fifth time in seven games to reach .500 (12-12). Kyle Lowry had 24 points and 11 assists for Houston and Luis Scola also had 24 points, but Kevin Martin scored a season...

(Eds: With AP Photos.) By JON KRAWCZYNSKI AP Sports Writer The crowd is roaring at Target Center this season for the first time in recent memory. A new generation of Timberwolves fan serenades Ricky Rubio with chants of ''Ole! Ole! Ole! Ole!'' every time he threads a lob pass to a teammate at the rim. Kevin Love hears ''MVP! MVP!'' whenever he steps...

MINNEAPOLIS -- For three straight games, his minutes and points dwindled. He remained in the starting lineup, but with Luke Ridnour filling in admirably at shooting guard in J.J. Barea's hamstring-induced absence and Wayne Ellington proving to be a capable replacement off the bench Friday, Wes Johnson needed to show a pulse. Better four games late than never. Johnson, who combined...

The most senior member of the Wolves squad, is the most important going into the new season as the only healthy and legit starting option at point guard on the roster.  Luke Ridnour is a 6′2″ 29-year old guard, who went to Oregon University.  Durning his Junior season at Oregon (his last at college), Luke averaged 19.7 ppg and 6.6 apg, won the PAC-10 Player of the Year...

Not sure what Luke Ridnour did to make the Basketball Gods angry but he was punished severely on this play. He was very Three Stooges like with his fall.

Minnesota Timberwolves point guard J.J. Barea says he'll be back on the court against Indiana. Barea said before the Timberwolves played the Pacers on Wednesday that his sprained left ankle is ''good to go.'' He has missed 10 of the last 11 games and appeared in only six of 21 games this season. He previously had a strained left hamstring. Barea is backing...

MINNEAPOLIS It's all about communication, yet nothing about the language.It's about hanging back or driving forward, about somehow letting teammates know what your and thus their next move should be. It's about words and motions and decisions made in just fractions of a second.A point guard must do all that, and more. In basketball, and especially on Rick Adelman's Timberwolves...

I bet Minnesota Timberwolves' Luke Ridnour wishes he can pull a LeBron James and have the following video confiscated ASAP.In what can only be described as a pure humiliation, Ridnour had the unenviable task of guarding Oklahoma City Thunder's Russell Westbrook during last night's contest. During one series, Ridnour got crossed-up so bad by Westbrook, it's as if an...

Watch this video- wow! Talk about a Tim Hardaway, Allen Iverson “killer crossover.” Russell Westbrook of the Oklahoma City Thunder faked the Minnesota Timberwolves Luke Ridnour literally out of his shoes. This is ridiculous, the only way Ridnour could be more faked out is if he were lying on the ground, curled up in the fetal position sucking on his thumb. The announcer...

Entering his first season as coach of the Minnesota Timberwolves, Rick Adelman figured he would have a former point guard shooting the ball extremely well for him from the shooting guard position. Why wouldn’t he think that? The Timberwolves gave former Dallas Maverick undersized combo guard J.J. Barea a 4-year deal worth more than 19-million dollars during the condensed 2011 off...

Oklahoma City took down Minnesota 104-100 in perhaps the most entertaining game of Monday’s slate. And just before halftime, Russell Westbrook did this to Luke Ridnour. Poor Luke.

Yeah a 15 win team usually has to overpay for talent. But it shouldn't have to overpay for talent that is a 3rd PG right now and a guy who's only other option was Europe.
