"I'm feeling great, feeling better than I thought I would," he said. "I'm just working every day and hope to be back soon. I'm looking forward to when I can just practice again real soon."

--C Byron Mullens is making the most of this time in the D-League. The rookie first-round pick averaged 16.3 points and 10.3 rebounds in his first six games with Tulsa.

"It's helped me get my confidence up," Mullens said.
