Here’s a bit of advice if your favorite basketball team’s season takes a fateful turn with one mounting injury after another:

Never, ever ask if it can get any worse because it just did for the Timberwolves in their 116-108 loss to the Kings Monday night at Power Balance Pavilion.

Just when the Wolves got Nikola Pekovic back from an injury list that already includes Ricky Rubio, J.J. Barea and Michael Beasley, starting point guard Luke Ridnour went down in pain late in the third quarter clutching a right ankle he sprained after he landed on another player’s foot.

Ridnour didn’t play again and probably won’t be available for Wednesday’s home game against Golden State at the very least.
