Roy's surgically repaired right knee will not allow him to travel with the team to Portland.NBA professional basketball team season 2012–13 Denver Nuggets season.

The Wolves, who will fly out Thursday afternoon, have several team members who are natives of that area, including Adelman, Love and president of basketball operations David Kahn.

The NBA schedule-maker did the Wolves a favor, having them play in Portland the day after Thanksgiving.

But when Minnesota signed Kirilenko I was like, 'Wow, I think they figured something out.' I think he's a glue guy. I was really depressed with Steve Nash signed in L.A. He creates many different defensive plays in a lot of different ways. Before the game he called Kirilenko one of his favorite players. Karl is especially impressed with Wolves forward Andrei Kirilenko. So far they have survived, and there is an energy that comes with playing well through injuries." They don't have the cleverness right now that they'll have after 30, 40 games.

"The Adelman system is ahead of the curve. "They are going to be so good offensively when they get their guys back," Karl said. Karl has coached against Adelman enough over the years to know how good the Wolves will be once the roster becomes fully healthy. Getting a lot of these guys minutes, this will be an advantage." So could change dramatically, as far as who is playing. "And I think it also gives us, from game to game, ways we can go. Ricky Rubio is expected back in December, when Brandon Roy might return, too.Īdelman said having played through injuries should pay dividends with a deeper roster once everyone is healthy. But center Nikola Pekovic also returned, as did guard J.J. When I was here, it was more, run the offense, throw it in the post, stand in the corner." When I was in Minnesota, we just threw it into the post. We play up and down, transition basketball. "This is a good situation for me," said Brewer, who is averaging 10.4 points and 3.1 rebounds in 22-plus minutes per game.

Starting Koufos allows Karl to bring JaVale McGee off the bench to be a part of a very athletic - and high-scoring - Nuggets bench that includes Brewer.īrewer's travels took him to New York as part of that trade to Dallas, where he was a bench player on a title team, and finally to Denver, where he said he has found a system that fits his style. "But he's a guy who does a lot of dirty work for us, and I think probably he's our most fundamental player." "He's not a flashy guy," said Nuggets coach George Karl. After earning a starting spot during the preseason, Koufos is averaging career highs in points (6.6), rebounds (5.6) and minutes (22:23).

Perhaps the biggest surprise out of the bunch is the 7-foot Koufos. Lawson, Denver's starting point guard, was drafted by the Wolves in the first round in 2009 but immediately traded to the Nuggets. And then there is perennial prospect Anthony Randolph. Center Kosta Koufos appeared in 29 games with the Wolves during the 2010-11 season. There is Corey Brewer, the Wolves' first-round draft pick in 2007. Look at the Denver Nuggets roster and one sees a lot of familiar faces.
