Dwight Powell is progressing from his strained left hamstring, but his status for Wednesday’s regular-season opener remains in limbo.
Powell spent Saturday’s practice continuing his rehab and coach Rick Carlisle said the injured big man’s first action of the 2019-20 season is not yet known.
“Powell is still in the rehab process,” coach Rick Carlisle said. “He’s making progress – but not there yet. So that’s where we are.”
Powell injured the hamstring early in training camp and missed all five preseason games. He has not practiced since Oct. 5.
“He would need to have some practice time,” Carlisle said about what would be required before Powell could see game action.
