Minnesota forward Al Jefferson is around two weeks away from doing contact drills with his teammates, but he says he is feeling great after spraining his right knee during a workout with teammates a couple of weeks ago, the Associated Press is reporting.

Minnesota owner Glen Taylor expects the team to win more games this season, according to Pioneer Press.

"Last year, when we put this group together, it was a year to build, to get experience," Taylor said of the team. "This year is different; just because last year we let a guy play a lot of minutes, if he doesn't produce this year, he won't play a lot of minutes. It will be more on productivity than youth. It'll be winning rather than getting experience."

Mike Miller, who will play his first season with the Timberwolves this fall, has made a national magazine's list of top celebrity donations for 2007, according to KMEG.com.

Miller and his wife donated $1 million to set up an endowment fund to support the Sanford Children's Hospital in Sioux Falls.

The donation ties Miller for No. 20 on the Parade magazine list with a number of other celebrities. Miller also has played for the Orlando Magic and the Memphis Grizzlies.

Al Jefferson, Randy Foye, Mike Miller and the team's personnel staff, including coach Randy Wittman, traveled to Chicago last week to work out free agent Shaun Livingston.

The Wolves appear interested in signing him to become a third option behind Foye and Sebastian Telfair.

Timberwolves' forward Al Jefferson will miss two-to-three weeks of action after suffering a mild sprain of the medical collateral ligament in his right knee, according to Pioneer Press.

In 2007-08, Jefferson averaged 21.0 points and 11.1 rebounds per game, all career highs.

Free agent point guard Shaun Livingston had private workouts with the Blazers and Timberwolves in the last 48 hours and he is expected to find a home by next week, according to Yahoo! Sports.

Livingston worked out in Portland on Friday, and two league sources believed the Blazers are the favorites to sign the guard.

The Heat are also reportedly still interested in signing Livingston.
