with a birdie on 16

MIAMI - The initial diagnosis on the severity of Ricky Rubios sprained left ankle was exactly what Minnesota coach Flip Saunders expected. Yasmany Tomas Jersey .It was bad.How bad wont even be known for another two weeks.The Timberwolves will be without their point guard indefinitely after an MRI on Saturday confirmed the sprain. Rubio will be re-evaluated later this month, at which time the team will formulate a potential timetable for his return.Hes in good spirits, Saunders said before Minnesota faced the Miami Heat, not long after Rubio hobbled into the arena on crutches with a boot protecting his ankle. He feels good. Anyone who knows Ricky, he went through his knee situation a few years ago, hes an extremely hard worker. So hell get back. If anyone is going to get back as soon as they can, hed be a guy that would.With Rubio out, the Timberwolves will rely more on Mo Williams at the point, though Saunders said hes leery of playing the veteran more than 25 minutes a night. Rookie Zach LaVine, who logged a total of 13 minutes in Minnesotas five games entering Saturday, also will become a bigger part of the rotation.Saunders said he expects there will be a substantial learning curve for LaVine, who started in Saturdays loss at Miami.Im sure my hair will get greyer and Ill lose a few more hairs over the course of things, Saunders said.Rubio was hurt in the second quarter of Minnesotas loss at Orlando on Friday night. He agreed to a $55 million, four-year extension with the Timberwolves on Oct. 31 and is averaging 9.4 points and a career-best-pace 10 assists per game.They have a great insurance player with Mo Williams, Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said. Hes proven himself. He can have big games and he can do it by getting into the paint, much like Rubio, and creating for others. But he also can score and shoot it when he gets going.Rubio is not expected to accompany the Timberwolves to Mexico City for their game on Wednesday against Houston.Its going to be tough without him, Minnesota centre Nikola Pekovic said. But were going to have to grind, have to fight. Everybody has to step up. There is a chance for so many players.Minnesota will remain in Miami through Monday, which means Rubio will have a couple extra days to potentially see swelling in the ankle subside before he flies home.He cant put any weight on it to get any kind of weight-bearing X-ray, Saunders said. Two weeks, well be able to look at it and then well know. Archie Bradley Jersey . Jamies number grades given are out of five, with five being the best mark. Tuukka Rask, Boston Bruins (5) – He had a brilliant game; it was a huge response for his average games before. Patrick Corbin Diamondbacks Jersey .Y. - Pittsburgh Penguins star Sidney Crosby captured his second career Art Ross trophy on Sunday after leading the NHL in scoring this season.PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. - Derek Fathauer shot a 3-under 67 on Saturday to take a one-stroke lead over Zac Blair in the season-ending Web.com Tour Championship. Fathauer has already earned a PGA Tour card with a top-25 finish on the Web.com Tours regular-season money list. The 28-year-old former Louisville player had a 12-under 198 total on TPC Sawgrass Dyes Valley Course. A victory Sunday would give him the top priority ranking in the Web.com Tour Finals. "It would be huge," Fathauer said. "Im not trying to get that far ahead. It would be a fun day tomorrow if thats what happened. ... Staying patient is huge. Hopefully, I can do that tomorrow." Blair, needing to earn about $40,000 for a PGA Tour card, shot a 71 in the rain-delayed round. "Every week you tee it up you want to win," said Blair, a 24-year-old from BYU player. "Im going to go out, play my game and see where I am at the end of the day." Jason Gore was third at 10 under after a 66. He also earned a PGA Tour card in the regular season. Canadas Adam Hadwin, in position to top the Web.com Tour and four-event Web.com Tour Finals money lists, was 8 under along with Jim Herman and Tyrone Van Aswegen. Alex Avila Jersey. Herman had a 65, and Hadwin and Van Aswegen shot 67. The Web.com Tour Finals is limited to the top 75 players from the Web.com Tour money list and Nos. 126-200 in the PGA Tours FedEx Cup standings. The top 25 on the Web.com money list have earned PGA Tour cards. They are competing against each other for PGA Tour priority, with regular-season earnings counting in their totals. The other players are fighting for another 25 cards based on their earnings in the series. Hadwin leads the four-event money list and is second on the combined Web.com list, $15,736 behind Carlos Ortiz. Ortiz missed the cut. Hadwin won the second Finals event in Davidson, North Carolina. Fathauer has earned $70,133 in the first three Finals events. With a victory, his total would reach $250,133. Hadwin would need a solo fourth-place finish — worth $48,000 — or better to top Fathauer. Fathauer rebounded from a double bogey on 15 with a birdie on 16 and closed with two pars. "It was nice to bounce back with a birdie," Fathauer said. "I want to stick to my game plan. I really want to do this for myself."
