Ronny Tuiaf (knee) could miss approximately three weeks, according to Flip Saunders. He has a bone bruise in his right knee and it sounds like it's a very bad one. Turiaf has suffered a lot of serious injuries in his career and it's good news he didn't have another one on Wednesday. The Wolves will look to Dante Cunningham a little more while Turiaf and Nikola Pekovic (ankle) are out.

Ronny Turiaf has a bone bruise in his right knee and does not have a timetable to return. If it's just a bone bruise, Turiaf may have escaped a possible severe injury. There is no word on if this diagnosis was confirmed by an MRI, but it does sound like the center will miss some time. Dante Cunningham figures to pick up most of the slack until Nikola Pekovic can return. Gorgui Dieng will also pick up some scraps.

Ronny Turiaf (knee) was not at practice on Thursday afternoon. His knee injury on Wednesday night did not look good and he's likely going to have an MRI Thursday or Friday. Turiaf should be considered doubtful for Saturday and the possible return of Nikola Pekovic (ankle) makes him a candidate to cut even before the results of the MRI are known.

Ronny Turiaf suffered a right knee injury against the Pacers on Wednesday and will not return. He went for a rebound and came down awkwardly before going to the locker room. Turiaf has been hurt for much of his career and hopefully he didn't suffer anything serious here. The team will likely re-evaluate him on Thursday. Dante Cunningham figures to get the majority of Turiaf's minutes while Gorgui Dieng and Luc Mbah a Moute may also help out.

Ronny Turiaf had 11 rebounds and four blocks on Wednesday, but scored just three points, as usual. As we've documented, Turiaf is going to be a good source of boards and blocks as long as Nikola Pekovic remains out with an Achilles injury, but should not be be counted on to score more than five points, like, ever.

Ronny Turiaf started again at center for the Timberwolves but had just two points, five rebounds and two blocks in 22 minutes on Tuesday. We were hoping for more against his former team (Lakers), but after a hot start to the game, he didn't do much the rest of the way. And given his inability to score points, he's a very low-end option as a fantasy center.

Ronny Turiaf had another nice game on Saturday, finishing with five points, seven rebounds and five blocks in a loss to the Hawks. If you picked him up when Nikola Pekovic went down, things are going well despite his lack of scoring, which was a foregone conclusion. Over his last four games, Turiaf is averaging 7.5 points, 8.0 rebounds and 2.25 blocks. Pekovic is expected to miss a few more games with his right ankle injury, making Turiaf a serviceable play if you can live with the low scoring.

Ronny Turiaf played well against the Grizzlies on Friday with seven points, 10 boards, two assists, one steal and one block in 28 minutes. This isn't the greatest fantasy line in the world, but it's somewhat solid. Turiaf has excellent timing as a shot blocker and he should be able to hit around two per game while Nikola Pekovic (Achilles) is out. He's a decent short-term asset in several fantasy formats.

Ronny Turiaf started at center on Wednesday and had four points, eight rebounds and zero blocks on 2-of-5 shooting in 26 minutes. He had 14 points, seven rebounds and three blocks on Monday, making him a popular daily-league play tonight, but he didn't really come through. Nikola Pekovic is going to miss more time with his Achilles injury, so Turiaf should get several more chances to come through as a starter.

Ronny Turiaf filled in for the injured Nikola Pekovic (Achilles) on Monday with 14 points, seven boards and three blocks in 32 minutes. Pek went down with soreness in his Achilles in the first quarter and there's a good chance he's going to miss time with the injury. Turiaf has been capable of blocking a lot of shots and there isn't much competition behind him with Gorgui Dieng still very raw, so he's worth a look in standard leagues or for anyone needing more blocks.
