Troy Hudson has missed almost two months of the NBA season with a sprained right ankle but he is getting close to returning to the Minnesota Timberwolves.

Hudson, who has been out since October 23 with the ankle sprain, hopes to play again in two or three days.

"They want me to be confident," Hudson said, referring to the Wolves. "I'm thinking about two or three days from being able to play. We'll see how it feels during the workouts. I've got several days of practices and workouts in there."
