Foye out at least another month!
The hits just keep on coming for the Minnesota Timberwolves. And not in a good way.
On Tuesday, the Wolves found out top PG Randy Foye, who hasn’t played in a single regular-season game this season, will be out for at least another three to four weeks. The news came down following a checkup Foye had in which he hoped to be cleared to make his return.
Instead, his left knee is healing slower than expected, Foye discovered, thus the delay.
“The thought is that he’s going to ramp up his workouts a little bit more and try to do more things, but some healing needs to go on still,” Wolves GM Jim Stack told TwinCities.com. “I think Randy, because he’s a competitor, there’s a little bit of a frustration level. But I think he understands that we don’t want this to be something that’s going to be chronic down the line.”
Basketball is certainly a more enjoyable career path than selling vacuum cleaners, but I’m sure Foye would rather be selling vacuum cleaners than sitting on the sidelines, watching his teammates lose game after game by single-digit loss margins more often than not, and knowing that were he in the lineup, a few of those might have had better chances to be wins rather than close losses.
Speaking of close losses, the Wolves dropped another game Tuesday night as the second in back-to-back games Monday and Tuesday; the Philadelphia 76ers beat Minnesota, 98-94.
