Timberwolves activate Chase Budinger

The Minnesota Timberwolves have activated forward Chase Budinger for the first time this season.

Budinger was activated Wednesday before the Wolves hosted the Phoenix Suns. He missed the first 34 games of the season after having surgery on a torn meniscus in his left knee before the preseason.

Coach Rick Adelman says Budinger will be limited to 15-20 minutes as he begins working his way back.
