Antonio Daniels, who has been out since spraining a ligament in his right knee during a win at Miami on Nov. 13, went through some drills before last night's game against the Heat at Verizon Center, but he did not play.
Daniels originally was given a two- to four-week timetable to return. The good news is that because the Wizards do not play again until Wednesday night when they host Detroit, Daniels will have three more days to gain strength in the knee and work on conditioning.
"That was the main thing, just getting my wind back," said Daniels, who went through his first practice on Thursday. "The knee feels good."

It's customary for players who are coming back from an injury to at least go through a handful of practices before returning to action, but Wizards' Coach Eddie Jordan doesn't have that policy for a player such as Antonio Daniels.
Daniels, who has missed five straight games with a sprained ligament in his right knee, is moving closer to a return and could be back as soon as tomorrow night's game against Miami at Verizon Center or Wednesday's home game against Detroit.
Daniels joined the team for a two-game trip that opened with a 108-104 win at Charlotte on Wednesday night and continues with a game at New Jersey tonight. He's been going through rehabilitation work with the team's athletic trainers and practiced yesterday for the first time but is listed as doubtful for tonight's game.
"With a veteran like him, it's different," Jordan said. "With our shoot-arounds, they are more like practices, and we went through a lengthy one [Wednesday] and he was out there. It's not like he's missed a month -- it's been two weeks -- so yes, you would like to see him get some practice time, but if we had to jump right into the fire, I would feel safe with Antonio going out there and playing at a high level."
