The Wolves just gave us this release from Brandon Roy:

"Last week while practicing, I suffered a setback in my recovery," Roy said in the statement. "I've felt better since the recent surgery (on his right knee Nov. 19). The past two days I have been weighing all of my options as I try to continue my basketball career. I have decided to explore additional treatment options and an extensive rehabilitation plan. My goal has been, and continues to be, to return to the basketball court as healthy as possible in order to help our team."

President of basketball operations David Kahn will be talking shortly. I will update this blog when I have more information.

Meanwhile, the team just announced Ricky Rubio will miss tonight's game with back spasms.

The Gophers played with more urgency, but it wasn’t enough to keep them from another conference sweep, and they lost LJ Mooney to injury in the process.
