Thaddeus Young likely to return by midweek

Thaddeus Young has been away from the Wolves on bereavement leave for more than a week and is expected to return to practice before Wednesday's home game against Milwaukee.

"He's dealing with things," Wolves coach Flip Saunders said. "It's not easy, but he's dealing with the things he has to."

Young will be the first absentee starter to return to the lineup. Injuries to Nikola Pekovic (wrist and ankle), Ricky Rubio (ankle) and Kevin Martin (wrist) will take more time, and in the case of Rubio and Martin, much more time.
