MINNEAPOLIS (AP) -- Sam Cassell and the Minnesota Timberwolves apparently are back on good terms.
Cassell's agent said the point guard would report to practice Wednesday after skipping the team's media day and the first day of workouts. Cassell, 34, was unhappy about not getting a contract extension.
Charles Tucker, Cassell's agent, said his client would be at the team's camp in Collegeville in time for an afternoon practice.
Tucker wouldn't comment when asked if the Wolves did anything to address Cassell's unhappiness, other than to say Cassell ``has a better understanding'' of the team's plans for him in the future.
Cassell's contract calls for him to be paid $5.65 million this season and $6.1 million next season. He can be fined $2,500 each of the first two times he misses practice, $5,000 for each subsequent missed practice.
A Wolves spokesman didn't immediately return a call seeking comment.
