Ray Allen (ankle) traveled with the Celtics to Minnesota in preparation for the game on Friday. After going through shootaround and pre-game warmups, Allen was held out of action for the fourth straight night on Wednesday against the Jazz. The fact that he's flying with the team indicates that he's close to a return, and it certainly wouldn't be surprising to see him return against the Timberwolves. If he can't play, Avery Bradley would once again start in his place.
