NBA Notes

Michael Jordan practiced with the Chicago Bulls for the third time in a week, but left without commenting on his future. Coach Phil Jackson said he hoped Jordan would return but said he really didn’t know if it would happen. . . . Richard Dumas, who has missed nearly two seasons for violating the NBA’s substance-abuse policy, was taken off the league’s suspended list. But before Dumas plays for the Phoenix Suns again, team president Jerry Colangelo said, the 6-foot-7 forward must publicly apologize to fans, teammates, coaches, ownership and the media.
