Timberwolves guard Mike Miller received treatment on his sprained right ankle Sunday, but the team said he underwent no additional tests.
His status remains day to day. Miller was injured with 6:44 to play in the first quarter of Saturday night's 109-102 loss to the Houston Rockets.
He missed four games earlier this month after spraining the same ankle.
With Miller out, Rashad McCants played more than 39 minutes at shooting guard against Houston and scored 16 points.
The bad news was all 16 came in the first half, as McCants went 0 for 5 from the floor in the final two periods.
Disappearing act: Kevin Love wasn't injured Saturday, but the Wolves' rookie forward might be suffering from a bruised ego.
Love played a season-low seven minutes (technically, 6:55) against the Rockets, going 0 for 1 from the floor with two rebounds and one assist and sitting out the entire second half.
Coach Kevin McHale said after the game that he wanted veteran Mark Madsen's brand of energy against the taller Rockets.
Of Love, McHale said, "You know, his time will come again."
Love left the locker room before the media entered.
Still streaking: Sunday was a day off for the Wolves (4-22), who are 0-7 under McHale and will take a 12-game losing streak into Tuesday's game at San Antonio.
That's four off the team record set in 1992 and equaled in 1994.
The Wolves are 0-2 against the Spurs this season, with both losses coming at Target Center: 129-125 in double overtime and 98-86.
