Hornets forward Peja Stojakovic took part in three consecutive practices without a problem this week.

Stojakovic, who has been limited by a bad back throughout his career, told the Times-Picayune that his back feels fine.

As a precaution, Stojakovic takes himself out of drills every five to ten minutes.

"I've been doing great so far, but I don't want to get too excited," said Stojakovic. "I don't want to jinx it."

He will come off the bench this season.
