Spurs trade Udrih to Wolves for pick
The San Antonio Spurs traded Beno Udrih to the Minnesota Timberwolves for a protected second-round draft pick in 2008 on Monday. The 6-foot-3 guard broke his left index finger earlier this month during Spurs training camp. Udrih's role on the team decreased last season as veteran Jacque Vaughn took over as backup point guard to Tony Parker. During his three seasons in San Antonio he appeared in 207 regular season games and averaged 5.2 points and 1.8 assists in 13 minutes.
Udrih will be limited next 3-4 weeks
San Antonio Spurs guard Beno Udrih broke his finger in training camp on Thursday and will be limited for a few weeks. Udrih will wear a cast while his left index finger heals, and probably won't be able to do much for three or four weeks, Spurs coach Gregg Popovich said. Udrih's role on the team decreased last season because veteran Jacque Vaughn took over as backup point guard to Tony Parker. Udrih is beginning his fourth season with the Spurs. Last season he averaged 4.7 points in 73 games.
