Turiaf has radial head fracture in right elbow

Timberwolves backup center Ronny Turiaf has a radial head fracture in his right elbow. Turiaf will not need surgery, and he will be re-evaluated next week to establish an approximate timetable for his return.

Turiaf injured his elbow in the second quarter of Friday night’s victory over Oklahoma City, when he fell and hit the Target Center floor hard.

Turiaf will likely miss at least a few weeks of playing time.
