It's nice to be active again.

If there's something wrong or a chance something can go wrong, I'll hang 'em up. I'll think about that first hit (if he returns). My game is diving on the floor, setting screens, but if the doctors say it's OK, and they say the heart has healed, I'll play.

I'll probably take this year off,

This is going to be a very difficult year for me, to sit out. I've had a uniform on every year since I was 7 years old. For me to have to sit back and watch and not be proactive ... it's going to be hard for me.

I see myself playing next year, and I see myself in a Timberwolves uniform. I want to end my career here. I want to stay with this organization.

(From) the smiles on the kids' faces, you could really tell that you took them away from everything that's been going on in their lives these last couple of weeks.
