I had ACL surgery on my right knee about two weeks ago and everything turned
out well. My recovery is going great. I'm taking it one day at a time, but
actually enjoying it, because this time I know what I have to look forward
to.

The recovery time will probably be the typical 6-8 month range and I know
what I have to do to get back to game shape. I'm very motivated. I can't even
be upset right now. I've already been through this situation before with my
left knee and that was worse, so I'm not going to let this stop me. The
surgery was done by Dr. Souryal, the Dallas Mavericks team doctor. He said it
was a clean tear of the ACL this time and nothing else was damaged.

After the surgery they set me up with a continuous passive motion machine
that keeps up the constant motion in your legs going into your first doctor's
appointment and I think that was helpful, something I didn't have after my
last surgery. Now I'm actually up walking around already, which is a good
feeling for me. I have a sleeve on my knee and I've already been going to
rehab for a week now.

You don't want to rush back, but at the same time, all I have is time in
front of me like I did preparing for this season. I'm looking forward to the
opportunity to get better and prove the naysayers wrong again. I came back
from one ACL surgery and I can do it again. If I have to approach it like my
rookie year or my second year and I have to play summer league, I have no
problem with that. I could go out there get some good run and give the GMs an
opportunity to see me. If it comes down to that I'll do it. But hopefully
I'll work hard enough that I can get a workout and let some GMs see me that
way.

Of course I wanted to play this season and I actually helped the team through
their tough times. I'm very very thankful to Minnesota for giving me the
opportunity. I was a pleasant surprise to them as well from what I hear.

To have a Hall of Fame coach like Rick Adelman speak so highly of me, it
makes me feel good and it tells me that I accomplished something. They've
seen me do it.

I think with all the injuries they had there early in the year, I provided
some consistency for them, on and off the court. One of my biggest jobs that
I did was nudging along Derrick Williams, who was having a hard time
understanding why he wasn't playing. He took my advice as far as keeping a
positive attitude and sticking with it. It's just being a leader and leading
by example. I came into the gym, worked out hard and didn't say a word, just
did whatever they asked me to do. That goes a long way.

I also got the chance to play with some great players like Kevin Love. He's a
great locker room guy and a great teammate. The one thing that stood out to
me about Kevin was how he hustled on the boards. He's a relentless guy
rebounding the ball. I consider myself a good rebounder throughout my career,
but to see him do the things that he does to position himself for the
rebound, I haven't seen anything like that. It was great to see. It reminded
me of what I used to be like at a young age.

The fans in Minnesota were great. A lot of them remembered how I was almost
drafted by Minnesota back in 2003. So they accepted me like I was one of
their own from my rookie year, which was kind of funny. A lot of the front
office people still talked about it. They always said they were glad to have
me up there. Even when I left, a lot of the fans were sorry to see me go and
really want me to come back. It was kind of like another homecoming for me
and it was a great experience.

I was even able to deal with the cold. When I had to move out my hands were
so cold. I think it was like 18 degrees, but it felt like eight degrees. It
never got like that in North Carolina, Dallas or Utah. I'd never experienced
one-degree weather in my life, so to experience that, I'll always be able to
say that I lived in a place where it was almost negative and lived to tell
about it.
