Timberwolves' Ricky Rubio: Practiced Friday

Rubio (elbow) participated in practice Friday.

Analysis:

Rubio, still without a timetable for return, appears to be positively progressing with his sprained elbow. Coach Tom Thibodeau says there's a chance he could play this weekend depending on his health. The guard was unable to travel with the Timberwolves on their three-game road trip because of the injury, and until Rubio sees some more practice time, there probably won't be a solid return date for him. While Rubio continues to be sidelined, expect rookie Kris Dunn to hold down the starting point guard position.
