According to the Associated Press, Washington center Etan Thomas is making strides towards his return to the court for the Wizards.
Thomas, who had open-heart surgery just three months ago, said, "It's good to be back. It was a long process, but it definitely feels great just to be back with my teammates, to be back on the road to coming back to playing."
Thomas showed up at Washington's practice on Saturday to check in with his teammates, but he is still waiting for approval to return to the court.
