Geno said "just the fact that she's out there [practicing today] is a really positive sign." The key Geno said was to see how she feels in the morning after her first practice. Hopefully she feels fine and can keep progressing. I don't think they need her on Friday night (if she's up to it maybe some garbage minutes late if possible), but it would be great to have her available in the final assuming we get that far. Geno said they are a very different team with Nika playing because they don't have anyone else with her defensive mentality.
