Shimonovich back in practice

Hawaii center Haim Shimonovich returned to practice with the Rainbow Warrior basketball team yesterday after an MRI showed no tear in his injured right Achilles.

Shimonovich sat out most of the first two weeks of practice with tendinitis and had the MRI done yesterday morning to make sure there wasn't further injury.

"It showed there's no tear and there's no danger of completely tearing the Achilles, so I just have to try to play with the pain," Shimonovich said.
