Bob Sura still hasn't participated in a full practice, but he repeated his desire to return to the hardwood this season following Tuesday's workout.

The Rockets point guard, who is recovering from a knee injury that sidelined through all of the 2005-06 season, was on the court shooting jumpers with the team after practice for the first time since training camp opened earlier this month.

Sura is hoping to return next month.

"I'm trying to get myself back into playing shape so I can play in a few weeks," Sura said. "I shouldn't say a few weeks. Five or six weeks is probably more like it."
