    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">WASHINGTON -- Center Etan Thomas will return to the Washington Wizards for Wednesday's game against the Chicago Bulls after missing a month with a sprained left ankle.

    Thomas practiced Tuesday for the second consecutive day.

    "He's in shape. He's got his wind," coach Eddie Jordan said, adding that Brendan Haywood will start at center against Chicago.

    The Wizards have gone 10-3 since the bruising Thomas was injured Dec. 9 against Houston, allowing Haywood to regain the starting job he lost in the preseason. In 12 starts in that span, Haywood is averaging 9.1 points, 8.8 rebounds and 1.3 blocks while shooting 63 percent.</div>

    It's about time. Haywood and Thomas need to attack on the boards or else they'll get pounded like last time.
