From Jerry Zgoda/Star Tribune: Practice No. 1 done: The new era begins in Mankato
The surgically repaired knees of Al Jefferson and Corey Brewer appeared to hold up fine.

“I was just happy to put on a uniform today and come out here and practice,” Brewer said. “I hadn’t practiced for real in a long time. For me and Al, it was good for both of us.”

Afterward, Jefferson said it was not his knee that proved troublesome and said he’ll use this preseason to get his conditioning improved as he recovers from February knee surgery.

"But I'm going to speak to my agent about the possibility," he said.

When Chucky Atkins came to Detroit in 2000, he came with the goal of competing for a starting job.

In this second stint with Detroit, Atkins’ goals aren’t nearly as lofty.

With the Pistons, Atkins is looking to earn a roster spot as the team’s No. 3 point guard behind Rodney Stuckey and Will Bynum.

Atkins, who became a free agent after accepting a buyout agreement from Minnesota last week, said playing time was not a major factor in his decision to return to Detroit
