Timberwolves president of basketball operations Flip Saunders delivered good news to fans regarding Chase Budinger on Thursday.
FYI. Chase cleared to run on treadmill and shoot set shots. Not basketball activities. Making progress.

Budinger had surgery to repair a torn meniscus in his left knee six weeks ago. The same injury limited him to just 23 games last season.
Yahoo! Sports reports that Budinger is expected to make a full recovery. A timetable has not been set for his return to basketball activities.
Budinger agree to a three-year, $16 million contract with the Wolves in July.
The 6-foot-7 forward has averaged 9.4 points per game in his four-year career.
