Barea scores 15 pts in return from sore back
J.J. Barea - G - Minnesota Timberwolves
Jan. 13, 2013 - 9:50 PM ET
J.J. Barea (back) finished Sunday's loss to the Spurs with 15 points on 4-of-11 FGs and 4-of-4 FTs, with six assists and five turnovers in 20 minutes.
Barea has been injured for most of the season but he only missed two games with this back injury, which has been diagnosed as a "slightly herniated L5 disc." Luke Ridnour began the season with a herniated disc that hasn't seemed to give him much trouble, and hopefully Barea can manage the injury while remaining in the active lineup.
