Timberwolves coach Rick Adelman says he doesn’t believe in jinxes and curses, but … his team’s injuries just continued to multiply.

The Wolves waived veteran forward Josh Howard on Thursday after discovering he suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament in last Friday’s game at New Orleans, and they might have lost guard Malcolm Lee for the season.

Lee, averaging 4.9 points in 16 games, would miss the rest of the season if he needs microfracture surgery on his knee. He was scheduled to get opinions from two doctors in New York this week.
