Philadelphia's Elton Brand said that he didn't feel any lingering effects in his injured shoulder from his return to the practice court on Monday.

Brand, who dislocated his right shoulder Dec. 17, could be back on the team's active roster as soon as this weekend.

"I think [my teammates] forgot my shoulder was protruding out of my skin [when he was injured]," Brand said. "They just fouled and played real; that's what I need for my confidence."
