MINNEAPOLIS (AP) -- Al Jefferson has returned to the Minnesota Timberwolves after serving a two-game suspension for a DWI arrest.
Jefferson was scheduled to be in the lineup tonight when the Timberwolves hosted Dallas. He was arrested early Feb. 28 on suspicion of drunken driving and later apologized.
Jefferson said today that these "have been the longest seven days of my life."
The Timberwolves lost both games without their leading scorer -- at Dallas and home against Houston last week.
Minnesota needs him back. The Timberwolves have won only one game since Feb. 6 and will be facing a Mavericks team that has won 11 in a row, the longest active streak in the league.
