Jet engines warming up

Jason Terry had one thing to say: "I'm back on the runway.''

Well, maybe more like heading toward the tarmac. But the news was excellent for Terry as he was examined by team physician Dr. T.O. Souryal, who gave Terry the all-clear to return to practice.

Before the game, coach Rick Carlisle said he wasn't expecting Terry to play in the next three games, including Friday's against Oklahoma City.

But that thought process may get revised if Terry can go through a practice on Saturday and not have any repercussions.
