Foye's knee worries Wolves

Quote:

Once again tendinitis in Randy Foye's balky left knee kept him out of practice, and now his status for Friday's season opener is in doubt.

"We are concerned, very concerned, I'm not going to lie to you," Wolves coach Randy Wittman said after an intense practice that lasted nearly three hours. "Him coming in today and not being able to do anything? That was a little bit of a shock. I have the concern of, how ready will he be?"

This has been an issue since Foye originally hurt his knee falling to the floor during summer league in Las Vegas. Foye played extensively in the Wolves' first preseason game, then only seven minutes against Boston. He returned to practice days before the preseason finale, then played 16 minutes in that game, a victory over Milwaukee. Foye took part in Sunday's scrimmage at Target Center but fell awkwardly on the knee.

Foye had more tests done on the knee Monday, and the results should be available today.

Foye Out Several Weeks

Quote:

The Minnesota Timberwolves received bad news on Tuesday with their regular-season opener fast approaching: guard Randy Foye's lingering left knee injury will sideline him for several weeks.

An MRI test and CT scan performed on Foye's knee revealed a stress reaction in his kneecap, and the team announced that the second-year player will be out indefinitely.

After being hindered by soreness throughout most of the preseason, Foye played 16 minutes in last Friday's exhibition game and took the court with the Timberwolves on Saturday -- but he's been unable to practice this week. An NBA all-rookie team selection last season, Foye was certain to be in the starting lineup for this revamped, inexperienced team that has only five returning players on the 15-man roster.

This is bad news. Hopefully he can make a fast recovery, but we should definately not rush him back since we won't be needing him this season as we aren't planning to compete.

Tough luck.

Here comes Telfair! It'll be a good way to see if he is for real yet.

No wonder Telfair was significantly outplaying him in preseason.

The only positive is now we'll get a good look at telfair running the point... but overall this is terrible news, we need Foye in there with these new guys asap

Timberwolves’ Foye To Miss Three Weeks

In the MINNEAPOLIS STAR TRIBUNE, Kent Youngblood writes “for months, Timberwolves point guard Randy Foye has felt pain in his left knee. It would throb and ache and he would wonder, ‘What's going on?’ Finally, both he and the Wolves know. Foye has a stress reaction on his left kneecap, the eventual result of a summertime fall and months of trying to play through the pain. The injury will heal on its own, but it will take time, at least three weeks.”

At least no surgery is a good thing

Odds are with Wittman coaching Jaric will get big minutes now

be great for telfair to get lots of game time straight away to gel with the rest of the team.
