Chase Budinger cleared for full-contact practice

The Wolves announced that forward Chase Budinger has been cleared for full-contact practices beginning tomorrow. This is good news considering that Budinger was supposed to be a big part of this team’s rotation.

Before Wednesday’s game against the Portland Trail Blazers, Budinger seemed excited to be back, but still has no timetable on his return.

“No idea, no idea. We are just going to take it practice by practice,” Budinger said. “I just need to get through my first practice and see how it goes.”

His first practice will likely be tomorrow before the team heads to Los Angeles to play the Lakers and Clippers on Friday and Saturday, respectively.
