MINNEAPOLIS (AP) Timberwolves point guard Sam Cassell could miss Friday night's game against Golden State.

Cassell didn't suit up for Wednesday night's 81-68 victory over the New Jersey Nets because of tendinitis in his left ankle. A decision about his status for the Warriors game will be made right before tipoff.

Cassell, averaging 21.2 points and 7.7 assists, got treatment Thursday and went through a light workout.

Troy Hudson scored a season-high 29 points Wednesday in place of Cassell, who has been bothered by soreness for the last few days. It was the first time Cassell missed a game this season.

Minnesota is 42-16 and in first place in the Midwest Division.
