Rashard Lewis doesn't have to play one-handed pickup games anymore.

The Seattle forward has been given doctors clearance to start shooting again with his injured right hand that has sidelined the former All-Star since late December.

Lewis can't participate in contract drills yet, but was out shooting for an extended period before the SuperSonics' game Friday night against Minnesota. Although he was just given the OK to start shooting this week, Lewis hopes to return either right before or right after the All-Star break.
