St. Francis — John Henson is trying to keep his spirits up while waiting for a lower back injury to heal.
The Milwaukee Bucks backup center did not practice Wednesday night as the team returned from the all-star break and began preparations for the season's final 28-game stretch, starting Friday night at home against Charlotte.
