Grizzlies guard Ronnie Brewer expects to return on Tuesday night against the Bulls.

Brewer hasn't played in three weeks because of a partially torn hamstring. He was explosive in practice on Monday, intercepting a pass and streaking down the court for a dunk.

"After I got the steal, coach said 'hold on.' But that's part of the confidence thing with me -- to be able to do the things I was doing before I got injured," Brewer said. "I want to be able to play defense, get steals and finish at the basket. Slowly but surely, I'm getting where I need to be."
