Everyone's favorite bilingual spaz (Minnesota reserve Mark Madsen) had a date with jet ski last week. It didn't go so well. But Mad Dog did score an evening with surgeons, and now he's looking forward to nice 3-month rehab session. Good times.
"This was an unfortunate accident that I have put behind me," Madsen said in a statement issued by the team. "My focus now is to concentrate on my rehabilitation with the goal of returning to the basketball court as quickly as possible."
If the Wolves planned on giving Madsen more than a pittance of minutes as the Youth and Beauty Brigade takes the reins, it'd be more than an unfortunate accident. It'd be like when Half Pipe Radmanovic busted his shoulder in Park City last year and the Lakers whispered about 'contract nullification.'

No matter: Everyone loves Mad Dog, and no one drawing a Timberwolves paycheck really cares Mad Dog won't suit up opening night against the Nuggets. (Unfortunately for Mad Dog, though: He'll miss Minny's tour of Europe, including games in Istanbul and London. Too bad; I hear the Sea of Marmara is killer.) Still, he'll have more time to chat up the FanHousers who improbably made it into his Facebook network. That's a win for us all.
