Elton Brand joined his Clipper teammates in a full scrimmage on Monday, marking the first time the former All-Star forward has done that since rupturing his Achilles' tendon last summer, the L.A. Times are reporting.

The Times are also reporting that Brand may be in uniform for the final five or six games, according to head coach Mike Dunleavy.

"If we can get him then, it'll be great. If we can't, we'll see what we can get," Dunleavy said.

"More conditioning needs to be done for sure, but it's a good first step. It's the first time he's been up and down at all, as far as banging with contact. All the drill work looks good, running up and down with nobody hitting you. Now it's being able to get to the point to really compete."
