An MRI of Ricky Rubio's ailing elbow Monday night revealed the expected diagnosis of a sprain. Rubio injured the arm during Saturday's loss in Sacramento.

Rubio's MRI did not show any breaking of the bone, so he is not expected to miss an extended amount of time. However, Rubio will not play in Tuesday's home opener against Memphis.

Tuesday's Timberwolves game can be heard on AM 1240 WJON. Pregame coverage begins at 6:30.
