The Timberwolves used their amnesty designation to waive Darko Milicic, who had two years remaining on a four-year contract signed in the summer of 2010.

Milicic had $10 million remaining on his deal, but only $7 million was guaranteed.

Lou Amundson has reached agreement with the Minnesota Timberwolves on a one-year guaranteed deal for the league minimum.

Amundson spent the 11-12 season with the Pacers.

Josh Howard is meeting with the Philadelphia 76ers on Monday and Tuesday, according to a source.

Howard met with the San Antonio Spurs last week.

The Minnesota Timberwolves also have expressed interest in Howard, who spent last season with the Jazz.

Brandon Roy has had six surgeries on his knees, but he underwent Regenokine therapy in 2011 and believes that will revive his career.

"I want to come in and make an impact right away," Roy said. "I want to be ready to deliver. A lot of people think I'm going to be limited. I tell them, 'Go ahead and think that way.' I'm not cautious about anything. I'm confident everything will go well."

Roy is working with Timberwolves player development coach Shawn Respert and a handful of teammates, including Nikola Pekovic, Malcolm Lee and Chase Budinger.

"I've had no setbacks," Roy said. "There's nothing stopping me from getting back to my old game. It just takes work and getting my rhythm back."

Robbie Hummel has sustained a meniscus injury in his right knee while playing in Spain.

Hummel tore his ACL twice in 10 months in 2010.

Hummel signed to play in Spain this season with the approval of the Minnesota Timberwolves.

Hummel will return to the United States to undergo surgery with an expected recovery time of four to six weeks.

Ricky Rubio is hopeful of a return to action before the end of the year.

The 21-year-old point guard has been sidelined since undergoing surgery to repair a torn ACL in his right knee on March 21.

"I'm eager to start running, and I think in December I would be ready to play," Rubio said.

Rubio expressed optimism in his first media appearance after the surgery.

"You always have to think about everything, but you just have to keep the right (thoughts)," he said in April. "Because if not, you can think, ‘I got hurt. I'm going to be out for six, nine months, and maybe I'm not going to be the player that I was before.' That's not the right thing. It can be. But it can be that you are better than you were."

The Timberwolves will hold a private workout on Thursday for Hassan Whiteside, according to a source.

Whiteside, a 7-foot center, spent the better part of the last two seasons in the D-League.

Minnesota is reportedly looking to add a player to its frontline before training camp begins on Oct. 2.
