Ronnie Brewer took another giant step toward what looks like his imminent return when he played in a full-contact, 3-on-3 game Thursday on the Grizzlies' FedExForum practice court.

Brewer has said that his partially torn right hamstring is healing ahead of schedule. He's officially missed three weeks today, and I'd probably put the target date for his return at March 16 when the Griz host the Chicago Bulls.
