I'll have a full rundown later today, but thought I'd share the injury updates from Fred Hoiberg just now ahead of Monday's season-opener against Texas Rio Grande Valley:
The two main questions come with guard Sam Hoiberg and big Andrew Morgan.
Hoiberg, who's been nursing a sore foot on his non-sprained ankle, will be a game-time decision Monday. He was back on the court Friday and was "pretty limited."
"We've got two more practices before opening night and a shoot around, so it's probably all the way up to a game-time decision for Sam, whether we throw him out there early," Fred said. "If he does play, I don't know how much he'll play."
Morgan continues to be in concussion protocol after a hard collision last Wednesday in practice. Morgan returned to the court Friday, but in a non-contact fashion.
"We'll see how he responds later this afternoon, more importantly tomorrow, and see if we can get another day and to continue on with the steps in the protocol that he's in," Hoiberg said.
Hoiberg also announced Juwan Gary recently had the flu the past couple days. It's nothing Hoiberg is worried about.
"He was back on the floor today, so I anticipate him being fine for Monday night," Hoiberg said.
