Elton Brand took the court to practice with his teammates recently in hopes that he would return to game action in two weeks, but coach Mike Dunleavy anticipates it'll be more like a month, according to the Los Angeles Daily News.

"He was so excited to be on the court, and we were so excited to have him there," Dunleavy said. "You can't lose reality, though. It would make no sense to throw him out there when he's not in absolutely great shape because then he might injure something else. It just doesn't make sense."
