Bjelica (knee) won't suit up for Monday's tilt versus the 76ers, Alan Horton of WCCO 830 AM reports.

Analysis:

This will be the second consecutive contest Bjelica will sit out due to the left knee contusion. He'll aim to get back on the court in advance of Wednesday's game against the Hawks, but in the meantime, his continued absence should open up extra minutes for Gorgui Dieng, Adreian Payne, and perhaps Damjan Rudez.
