G Tre Jones (ankle), the former Apple Valley standout, and G Devin Vassell (foot) are out. The Spurs only won 22 games last season, but one of those came against the Timberwolves in San Antonio, a 113-112 victory on Jan. 27 when the Spurs outscored the Wolves 33-22 in the fourth quarter, with Keldon Johnson making a go-ahead free throw with 9 seconds left.

Wolves update: They played Denver on Friday night at Target Center after starting the season 2-2, their second consecutive home game against a team they faced in the playoffs last season.
