There will be changes to the Minnesota Timberwolves' rotation.
At least for their first preseason game – which might not mean a whole lot.
Interim head coach Sam Mitchell announced that Ricky Rubio (strained right quad) will not play tomorrow. Rubio has been in-and-out of practice the last few days and missed Tuesday’s practice.
“He did some stuff on the side,” Mitchell said after practice. “But I’m going to hold him out tomorrow because if you’re not practicing, it doesn’t make sense to play him in a preseason game.”
The Wolves would love to have Rubio on the court, but a positive is that it’s not his ankle.
