The San Antonio Stars are in the final stretch of a dreadful season, but they bring a modicum of momentum -- thanks to a rare victory -- into Tuesdays road game against the Connecticut Sun.The Stars (6-19) have the fewest wins in the WNBA, but surprised Washington on Sunday with an 85-74 victory in the nations capital. The 11-point victory provided San Antonio with its largest margin of victory this season and snapped a six-game losing streak. The Stars forged a 23-point halftime lead against the Mystics, saw the advantage drop to as low as seven points in the third quarter but pulled it together in the fourth to claim the win.Tuesdays contest in Uncasville, Conn., will be another chance for San Antonio, which is still mathematically eligible to climb four spots into the postseason, to play spoiler against a team that also has a chance to qualify for the postseason in the WNBAs new playoff scenario. The top eight teams, regardless of conference in the 12-team league, will qualify for the postseason.San Antonio has not won back-to-back games this season.Washington and Seattle are currently tied for the final spot, with Connecticut, Dallas and San Antonio on the outside looking in with the season in its final three weeks.Connecticut has beaten the Stars twice this season, but the victories were not decisive. The Sun won by four points in San Antonio on May 19 and by three on June 19 in Uncasville.The Sun (9-17), who lost to Atlanta 87-73 on Sunday to snap a three-game winning streak, consider this game against San Antonio a must-win. With the hill Connecticut has to climb and a final eight-game run that features six games against teams currently above them on in the standings, losing to the worst team in the league at home would be disappointing.

MINNEAPOLIS -- Minnesota Timberwolves point guard Ricky Rubio returned to practice on Friday after missing the last five games with a sprained right elbow.Rubio stayed in the Twin Cities to rehab his injury during the teams recent three-game road trip. The Timberwolves have a rare home back-to-back with the Los Angeles Clippers on Saturday night and the Los Angeles Lakers on Sunday night. If Rubio responds well after the workout, coach Tom Thibodeau said he could return to the court this weekend.As long as he feels pretty good tomorrow, Thibodeau said after practice.The Timberwolves have missed Rubios experience and defensive presence during his absence. Rookie Kris Dunn has started and second-year pro Tyus Jones has been the primary backup. Both have played well at times, but for now lack the Spainards composure in critical moments and the ability to organize an offense.Just the way he can push the ball, his decision-making, team defense, hes all over the place, Thibodeau said. He brings a lot of energy. In transition, hes such a good decision maker that he gets you a lot of easy baskets, and he knows how to move the ball around.Rubio was injured in the second game of the season at Sacramento when a Kings player fell into hiis elbow in the fourth quarter.dddddddddddd Without him, the Wolves are off to a disappointing 2-5 start in a season in which they are hoping to end a 12-year playoff drought.In his six years in the league, Rubio has established himself as one of the best defensive point guards. Getting him back at the top of the Wolves defense could go a long way toward helping the young team be more consistent on that end. His ability to get his teammates shots where they are most comfortable also lifts the offense and helps the Wolves avoid the stagnancy that has occasionally plagued them this season.He adds a lot of experience and hes been through a lot of things here, center Karl-Anthony Towns said. To have a player like that, especially on the bench (during timeouts) where hes like another coach, its awesome to have him.Rubio is listed as questionable for the game on Saturday against the Clippers.He looks sharp, forward Shabazz Muhammad said. I told him it looks like he hasnt missed a beat. His conditioning, going hard, shots looking better. Hes looking really good out there and we cant wait to have him back. ' ' '
