Antawn Jamison could return to the lineup Sunday when the Wizards play at Boston, apparently ending any speculation that the tendinitis in his right knee is more serious than originally reported.

"It's nothing serious," Jamison said by phone last night. "I just want to take all the precautions. I'm doing everything to be ready for Sunday, and it's looking pretty good. Really, it's not anything that a couple days of rest won't cure."

"It's feeling better -- I probably could have finished the Charlotte game," Jamison said. "That was the first time I felt real pain. I just don't want to go out there and hurt my team."
