Chase Budinger (knee) will visit Dr. James Andrews on Monday. He's hoping to be cleared for running and cutting after his meeting with the Michael Jordan of orthopedic surgery. Budinger was heating up before he tore his MCL with an average of 14.7 points per game in his three games before the injury. Things will be a little different upon his return with the Ricky Rubio back and Alexey Shved emerging, so there's really no reason to stash him.
