Posted by Jeff Sack under NBA Injuries 

The Minnesota Timberwolves thought they were seeing their season ending before it even began, when big man Al Jefferson fell to the floor clutching his right knee earlier this week. Jefferson was playing in a pick-up game with teammates, when the injury occurred. And although Jefferson was injured the “Associated Press” is reporting that it was nothing that will derail him starting the season with the T-Wolves.

Jefferson suffered a mild sprain of the medial collateral ligament in his right leg. The injury is expected to keep off the hardwood for about two to three weeks. Doctors say he will be in top shape long before Minnesota opens it’s regular season on October 29. Jefferson who was the centerpiece of the deal that sent Kevin Garnett to Boston last Summer. He averaged a double-double for his first season with the T-Wolves with 21 points, 11.1 boards per game.
