Minnesota Timberwolves point guard Ricky Rubio and power forward Nemanja Bjelica will be game-time calls Friday night against the Sacramento Kings, according to Jerry Zgoda of the Minneapolis Star Tribune.
Rubio aggravated his right ankle Wednesday night against the Atlanta Hawks, while Bjelica has been out the last three games with a left knee contusion.
Rubio has been the key to Minnesota's success, as the team has yet to win a game without him in 2015-16. The 6-foot-4 point guard leads the team in assists per game (8.5), steals per game (1.7), and net rating (plus-8.3 points per 100 possessions).
Bjelica has enjoyed a solid rookie season, posting averages of 7.3 points, six rebounds, and 2.2 assists per game.
