The Timberwolves sent starting center Nikola Pekovic home to Minnesota to seek new treatment for his two hurting ankles while his teammates wrap up a seven-game, 13-day road trip by playing the two best teams in the West.

Wolves coach Rick Adelman compensated Wednesday at San Antonio by starting rookie Derrick Williams alongside Kevin Love in a small lineup, while 7-foot Darko Milicic remained on the sideline and out of favor.
