MINNEAPOLIS (AP) - Minnesota Timberwolves point guard Jonny Flynn has been cleared to start practicing with the team for the first time since having hip surgery in July.
Flynn participated on a limited basis on Tuesday. There is still no timetable for when he will first play in a game.
The Timberwolves start the regular season on Wednesday night against Sacramento. Veteran Luke Ridnour will start while Flynn works his way back.
