Jerry Zgoda, checking in from New York, reports:

Lots of news from Timberwolves' shoot at Madison Square Garden this morning;

-- Team is calling Michael Beasley a "game-time decision" but after watching him move there's no question he'll play. Told he looks better than the classic GTD, he said, "I do? We'll just leave it at that, though."

-- Anthony Tolliver's MRI yesterday did show a sprained MCL, team says he's out 6 to 8 weeks but David Kahn said 4 to 6, so let's make it 4 to 8.

-- Martell Webster could play as early as Wednesday vs OKC after meeting with doctors and team medical staff tomorrow, should be back by weekend at latest.

-- Rambis said there's "zero chance" Jonny Flynn plays tonite even though he's with team. Plan is still for him to play back-to-back games in D League Friday and Saturday, which, barring a setback, would put his Wolves return a week from Tuesday at Golden State.
