Wizards make roster move, with Wall set to return

Just 11 games in, the season is barely a month old and the Washington Wizards are undergoing another transition. As practice concluded on Monday, reserve point guard Lester Hudson was carrying a FedEx box as he walked out of Verizon Center, perhaps for the final time, after he was waived earlier in the day to make room for swingman Alonzo Gee.

Inside the gym, Gee was getting acclimated again with the team he jilted last season after two 10-day contracts in order to join a playoff team in the San Antonio Spurs. The somewhat surprising reunion with Gee came a day after a disappointing 115-110 overtime defeat to the Detroit Pistons that Coach Flip Saunders described as, "probably as tough a loss as I've had here in two years."

Gee isn't expected to offer much assistance when the Wizards host the Philadelphia 76ers at Verizon Center on Tuesday, but the team might have to make some more adjustments with No. 1 overall pick John Wall expected to return after missing the past four games with a sprained left foot. Wall participated in the entire practice and has been progressing since suffering the injury in Chicago on Nov. 13. He was on the active list against the Pistons and was able to move - and dance - without any problems during pregame warmups, although he did not dress.
