<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post"> LOS ANGELES - He does not want his career to end like this, with injuries not allowing him to play much for the Lakers. So Aaron McKie has continued to work hard and gotten so much better that Coach Phil Jackson said the 6-foot-5 guard is close to being activated. McKie, who signed a two-year, $5 million deal during the summer of 2005, played just 14 games last season. He missed 50 because of a torn left quadriceps tendon. McKie has been out since the exhibition season with inflammation in a disk in his back. "Even if I'm put on the active list, I don't know what my minutes will be," he said Tuesday. "I'm still getting a little sore from working out but I'm getting better." At 34, McKie knows his career is winding down but feels he still has something left. "I just want to do as much as I can to put myself in a situation to where I can help this team," he said. Kwame Back Friday? Kwame Brown has been practicing with the Lakers and also is close to be activated. Brown has been out with a bruise in his right rotator cuff. Lakers public relations director John Black said Brown will practice Thursday and if all goes well, Brown will play Friday night against Detroit. </div> Source
