Jonny Flynn has struggled since his return from offseason hip surgery, but the Timberwolves won't send him back to the D-League for more seasoning.

"He's playing here, that doesn't make any sense," coach Kurt Rambis said of sending Flynn back down.

"He's practicing with us. He's getting time. He's not the first player and certainly won't be the last player to go through rough stretches in their career. For the vast majority of players, it happens to all of them. It's just something he's going to have to work his way through and we believe he will work his way through."
