Wolves Updates

Wolves start off their 6 game road trip with a loss to the Jazz.

Casey on last night's game:
"We want to build a culture here of winning, of growing," he said. "I don't want to have a loser's mentality. Yes, the execution was good. The effort was good. But we're not happy with the loss."

"We know this road trip is going to have a lot to say about where we stand as far as the possibilities of making the playoffs," coach Dwane Casey said.


KG, team equipment manager Clayton Wilson, and director of security Bob Goedderz will attend the Kirby Puckett memorial service at the Metrodome on Sunday. They'll fly to Los Angeles that night to prepare for Monday's game against the Clippers.

Hoiberg had a "light workout" with the Pistons on Wednesday. Coach Saunders and team president Joe Dumars plan on meeting to discuss whether Hoiberg should have a place on the team.

Saunders on Hoiberg:
"He goes back and forth," said Pistons coach Flip Saunders, who coached Hoiberg for two seasons in Minnesota (2003-2005). "There's only a few teams that he'd play for if he were to play, as far as this year."

AC won't be present at the Friday court date for his drunken driving arrest last week as his lawyer will be representing him.
