Martin (wrist) won't suit up Saturday in Denver, the Timberwolves' official site reports.

Analysis:

Martin has been closing in on a return to the court, as evidenced by reporting a pain-free practice Thursday. However, he was still given doubtful odds to play Saturday, and he indeed logged his 29th consecutive absence due to a fractured wrist. Considering his recent progress, though, perhaps he'll receive an upgrade in status prior to Minnesota's next tilt, Monday at Charlotte.
