Certainly, his elapsed times chugging up and down the basketball court wouldn't make anyone think of Carl Lewis or Maurice Greene. But Coleman isn't trying out for the Olympics. After sitting out nearly two weeks of the preseason with a strained groin, the 76ers' 36-year-old veteran is working to get himself in shape for the start of the NBA regular season in less than two weeks. Coleman participated yesterday in a full practice - from opening whistle to final whistle - for the first time in the preseason at the Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine. His next step, after today's practice, will likely be his first game appearance of the preseason, tomorrow night against the Utah Jazz in Salt Lake City.</div> Full Story... Sounds good, really good. If he is able to play against the Jazz then we'll be ok. If not, who knows. This is a really small amount fo time for him to get ready for the season, only two weeks! Let's pray for the best.
