Devin Harris has been out since playing six minutes in the first half of the season opener at Phoenix, where he strained his left hamstring.

It's been just over three weeks and coach Rick Carlisle said that Harris' return could come as soon as Saturday night against Oklahoma City.

"We'll know more in the morning," Carlisle said after Friday's workout. "He had a nice practice today. So there's certainly a chance. But a lot of these things are: see how he wakes up and see how Mother Nature treats him during sleep time."

Harris has said he wants to be able to run comfortably without any favoring of or fatigue in his leg. For a team that has struggled in many areas, his return would be a big boost.

"Attacking, play-making veterans that play both ends of the floor have great value in this league and on our team," Carlisle said. "And experience is a valuable commodity when you're working through challenges. So we'll see if he's ready tomorrow."
