Chucky Atkins is ready to come off of the injured for the Detroit Pistons but it's uncertain when they will activate him.

"Atkins, who had arthroscopic surgery Nov. 10 to remove a piece of cartilage from the knee, said it feels "about 95 percent." He was wearing a small wrap around the knee during practice Tuesday, but it didn't appear to hinder his movement."

While Atkins would like to play tonight against the Miami Heat, coach Larry Brown is iffy on whether Atkins will see action tonight.

"I would have liked for him to scrimmage a little bit, so maybe we'll wait until after Wednesday, after the game, and see if we're going to get something done Thursday or Friday," Brown said.
