Jarrett Culver to have ankle surgery, will miss rest of Timberwolves season

Timberwolves guard Jarrett Culver missed 17 games earlier this season because of a right ankle injury, and he will now miss the rest of the season because of it.

Culver will undergo arthroscopic surgery on May 7 that will include "debridement of scar tissue and loose body" in his right ankle, the Wolves announced, and said Culver would miss the rest of the season.

"He's still a big part of our future as we see it," coach Chris Finch said. "So we want to be sure that we give him the best chance to have the proper preparation going into next year, and it's important.
