<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Guard Antonio Daniels, who missed his fifth straight game because of a right knee sprain, continues to make progress and participated in the Wednesday morning shootaround. Daniels could be back in action as soon as Saturday's home game against Miami, and if he hasn't returned by then, he most likely will play Wednesday night against Detroit. "We don't want to put a timetable, but I think the safe bet would be against Detroit," Jordan said. "That would be the worst-case scenario, I think. We're hoping for the best which would be sometime Friday or Saturday, but we don't know yet." . . . Mason, who made his third straight start in place of Daniels, connected on a career-high six three-pointers.</div> Source: Washington Post
