It's the same procedure that kept Phoenix star Amare Stoudemire out for essentially all of last season. 大學就讀北卡的RMC是上個球季灰狼以第一輪第十四順位挑選入隊的新秀，他在六月份 接受了膝蓋關節鏡手術，而這項手術正是迫使鳳凰城太陽明星中前鋒小史幾乎錯過上個球 季所有賽事的元兇。 McCants averaged 7.9 points and 1.8 rebounds in his first season, but blossomed down the stretch when coach Dwane Casey increased his minutes. RMC在他的菜鳥球季平均每場比賽可以攻得7.9分並抓下1.8個籃板，這張成績單看似普 通，但其實他在季末總教練D.Casey逐漸增加他上場時間後那幾場比賽表現是漸入佳境。 "Rashad demonstrated late last season that he has the ability to score at this level, and has a tremendous future in this league," vice president of basketball operations Kevin McHale said in a statement issued by the team. "We believe he will fully recover from his injury and become a valuable member of the Timberwolves for years to come." 籃球事務副總裁McFail在球隊一份對外聲明中指出"RMC在上個季末向世人證實他在NBA 這個層級的比賽中得分一樣如探囊取物，我們相信他將完全從手術中康復並且成為灰狼未 來數年內不可或缺的中流砥柱。 The Timberwolves don't expect him back for at least the first two months of this season while they take a cautious approach to his recovery. 灰狼並不期待他能在本季前兩個月內就歸隊，因為他們對於他的復原狀況抱持著相當 小心謹慎的態度。 --
