<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Forward Michael Ruffin, who has missed 37 consecutive games with a right foot sprain, practiced yesterday and is edging closer to a return. Ruffin participated in a shoot-around before last Saturday's game against the Lakers, but suffered a setback and did not suit up. "It feels good," said Ruffin, who last played in a loss at Dallas on Nov. 21. Ruffin's return would give Coach Eddie Jordan more lineup options and help offset the absence of injured forward Antawn Jamison, who has missed four games with a left knee sprain that is expected to keep him out until early March. The Wizards are 1-3 without Jamison, the team's third-leading scorer, second-leading rebounder and captain.</div> Link It's about time, since it's the first update we've heard from him since intitally being injured. This should give Eddie Jordan more options off the bench in trying to stop the low post game as Jamison is still inactive.
