Earlier this season, it was thought that Zeljko Rebraca's career might be over. However, the Pistons center said on monday that he is planning on being ready for the playoffs.

"I need to play four or five games before the playoffs," Rebraca said. "I will be ready for the playoffs.

"I'm starting with a little bit of running and shooting and some drills with the ball. (I'm going) a little bit slow because I haven't done anything for almost three months. I want to start practicing with the team and get in the lineup if everything's good."
