The injuries were both to their knees. Ughhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I really hope we are talking bruises, but with Rubio this is really crappy.

AP said Wiggins back tomorrow and Rubio is a ????? Here we go.

While it sucks whenever they miss ANY time, this doesn't sound like any sort of extended issue. Otherwise, I think we'd be hearing about MRIs, X-rays, yada, yada, yada.....That's when it gets scary.

The Golden State game is going to be really ugly if they both aren't at full strength. If they are healthy, though, I think we beat 'em.

More on Wiggins, Wolves GM Milt Newton tells @PAOnTheMic that he expects Andrew Wiggins to play tomorrow against Golden State.

With Rubio's history, I'm a bit nervous. With the media options out there it would be easy to report his condition, unless it really needs to be evaluated. I hope I'm reading too much into this.

@APkrawczynski: Like Wiggins, Rubio is expected to play tomorrow night vs. GSW as well. Mild left hamstring strain, and not knee. Felt better today

@APkrawczynski: Just like the quad strain in preseason, latest soreness for Rubio is expected given body is still adjusting to being back at it.

Again, I believe there is a shift in philosophy from recent years, whereby the team is taking a much more conservative stance on both minutes played and non-serious injuries in the interest of avoiding truly serious injuries or chronic conditions. I'm sure Wiggins and Rubio could have played against Charlotte if they had to and I seriously doubt the players themselves had as much say as it was made out to be.

As a physical therapist, Arnie knows that if you are hurting in one spot, you compensate for it with other muscles, which may in turn lead to a more serious injury. So it's not about preventing further problems at the point of discomfort, but instead preventing a serious problem somewhere else.

Don't worry everyone, Rubio isn't injury prone, so this is no big deal. He should be back in 6-18 weeks.

Thank you for confirming this.
