<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">The first dunk was a soaring, one-handed jam in traffic that had all his teammates jumping around and excited. The second was a sweet, two-handed baseline job to finish off yet another drill in Tuesday's practice. It's been a while since the Hawks have had Josh Childress flying around, 16 games to be exact. But Childress appears to be ready to return to action, Wednesday night against Utah at Philips Arena, after sitting out the past month with a hairline fracture in his left foot. "I've had two good days of practice, so I can kind of get a feel for if it's sore or not," said Childress, who averaged career highs in points (13.3) and rebounds (6.4) through the first seven games of the season. "I'm going to go through shootaround [this morning] as if I'm playing and then make a decision around game time. But I'm feeling good right now." As is Hawks coach Mike Woodson after watching Childress in practice the past two days. "There's a strong possibility we'll have him back, and that's a good thing," he said. "He looks pretty darn good out there."</div> Source
