Timberwolves swingman Martell Webster's return from October back surgery has been pushed back a bit.

Webster didn't play on Friday night and it appears as though he won't return until Tuesday against the Warriors, the start of a five-game road trip.

Minnesota coach Kurt Rambis said Webster needs more practice.

"He's got to feel comfortable out there," Rambis said. "It's just a mutual decision to give him a couple more days, get some real pounding in. We haven't had the sort of practice and time to get him those game-like situations he needs. You can just tell he's not in a kind of game rhythm yet.

"This is where the D League really would come into play."
