Cunningham will not travel with the team for a two-game roadtrip through Florida where the Wolves will face the Miami Heat and Orlando Magic. The Wolves' have issued a statement:
"We are aware of the matter involving Dante Cunningham and are in the process of gathering more information. Dante will not be traveling with the team to Miami this afternoon. The Minnesota Timberwolves organization takes the matter very seriously and does not condone the type of behavior that is associated with this situation. However, we need to let the legal process run its course, and will have further comment at the appropriate time."
Cunningham is in the final year of his current contract in Minnesota and is due to hit the open market. If he is charged, it likely will spell the end of him in Minnesota and hurt his chances of signing a more lucrative deal once he hits free agency.
