Turiaf (hip) was forced to miss Thursday's game against the Pistons with lingering soreness, the Star Tribune reports.

Analysis:

Turiaf has now missed the opening two games of Minnesota's season and will likely be a game-time decision for Saturday's matchup with the Bulls. If he's ultimately unable to play Saturday, the 31-year-old's next opportunity to make his 2014-15 debut will be against the Nets on Wednesday.
