Washington Wizards Larry Hughes, who missed Monday's 94-83 loss to the Portland Trail Blazers with tendinitis in his right knee, is expected back for tonight's home game against the Orlando Magic.
"It's making progress," said Hughes, who went through only shooting drills at practice yesterday. "Getting rest is what I needed. I didn't practice the day before [Monday's game] so, I've got almost a half-day tomorrow to let it calm down and get some treatment on it. The doctor said basically all it needs is to calm down, get the inflammation out and it will be as good as new."
Jared Jefferies is also expected to play, he's been bothered by a sore right ankle.
