Tom Gugliotta worked through about half of the scrimmage in an ongoing attempt to re- establish the consistent scoring and rebounding that have been lost since he underwent serious knee surgery in March 2000, according to the Arizona Republic.

"The knee felt good," said Gugliotta, who hopes to return to the Suns' active roster for Thursday night's game at Portland. "Now, I'm going to try to get through two hard days in a row. I think I'm very close. Under the best-case scenario, I think I could be playing Thursday."
