Timberwolves coach Kurt Rambis says a stint in the D-League would be "beneficial" to guard Jonny Flynn, who is still recovering from hip surgery.

"It's not something we would force on Jonny, but if it's amicable, I think it would be a very valuable option for him and us," Rambis said.

Flynn said he would be willing to go to the D-League to help prepare for his return.
