Budinger scored 12 points and made both three-point shots he attempted in 21 minutes in Tuesday's preseason win over the Pacers. "It's like I've been saying all preseason during camp � I feel great. I feel normal," Budinger told the Minneapolis Star Tribune. "It's a big joy, just a big joy, getting my legs back." Knee and ankle ailments limited him to just 41 games last season, but so far this preseason it looks like he's healthy. However, it's not clear how large a role he'll have off the bench. It's also been reported Minnesota is trying to trade Budinger, but the team has denied those reports. If he shows he's healthy at the start of the regular season he could quickly find a larger role or be traded to a team needing a three-point shooter.
