After playing in an intrasquad scrimmage, Wally Szczerbiak is back and will play Wednesday night in an exhibition game against the Chicago Bulls.

Two exhibition games remain for Szczerbiak to regain his physical conditioning, starting with Wednesday's visit by the Bulls. The season opener is Nov. 2 when the Portland Trail Blazers come to the Twin Cities.

Szczerbiak appeared to step somewhat gingerly on the foot early in the first quarter but looked better as the game progressed.

"I'm fine," he said after the scrimmage. "We've been smart with this injury. I've taken about an extra week. This was my first live contact stuff. We've known it wasn't too bad of an injury. We were just playing it extra cautious."
