Timberwolves' Ricky Rubio: Expected to be available Saturday

The Timberwolves expect Rubio (elbow) to be available for Saturday's game against the Clippers.

Analysis:

Rubio has missed the last five games while dealing with an elbow injury. Since he was able to practice Friday without any complications, it appears he'll be ready to go Saturday. He'll presumably take back the starting point guard role from rookie Kris Dunn, who had been ceding most of the minutes at the position to backup Tyus Jones over the last two games. Rubio may be eased back into action Saturday, but expect him to take on a 28-to-32-minute role before long.
