Ford Expected To Miss Two To Three Weeks

Dec 29, 2005 10:55 PM EST

T.J. Ford will not be able to help the Milwaukee Bucks end their current slide.

Ford is expected to miss the next two to three weeks with a left midfoot sprain, Bucks general manager Larry Harris announced on Thursday.

Ford, who suffered the injury in the first quarter of a 109-98 loss at Miami on Tuesday, received the prognosis after being evaluated by foot specialist Dr. Eric Malicky earlier Thursday.

The eighth overall pick in 2003, Ford had started all 26 games this season, his first since coming back from spinal cord surgery that forced him to miss all of 2004-05. The guard leads the team in assists with 6.7 per game and is third in scoring with 13.2 points.

Without Ford's services, Milwaukee will try to snap a two-game losing streak when it hosts the New York Knicks on Friday.

Wolves Recall Dwayne Jones From D-League

Dec 29, 2005 1:13 AM EST

The Minnesota Timberwolves recalled rookie center Dwayne Jones from their D-League affiliate in Florida on Wednesday to shore up their banged-up frontcourt.

Starting center Michael Olowokandi has been bothered by bursitis in his right elbow, and backup Mark Madsen left in the first quarter of Monday's game against Phoenix with a bruised back. Both players were listed as questionable for Wednesday night's game against Seattle.

The Timberwolves assigned Jones to Florida of the D-League on Nov. 4. He has appeared in 10 games for the Flame, making nine starts and averaging 9.7 points and 30.6 minutes per game. He leads the D-League in blocked shots (2.1) per game and ranks second in rebounding (11.6).

Ford Leaves With Injured Foot

Dec 27, 2005 11:59 PM EST

Milwaukee point guard T.J. Ford injured his left foot early in the Bucks' game against the Miami Heat on Tuesday night and was not expected to return.

Ford was fouled hard by Miami's James Posey as he drove to the basket with 7:52 remaining in the first quarter. Ford was escorted to the Bucks' bench during a timeout. He made two free throws following the timeout, but then was promptly removed from the game.

Taken to the locker room for treatment, Ford was diagnosed with a mid-left foot sprain.
