Wizards' Ian Mahinmi: Active and available to play Wednesday

Mahinmi (knee) will be available for Wednesday's game against the Nets, but is expected to be limited to around 10-to-12 minutes, J. Michael of CSN Mid-Atlantic reports.

Analysis:

Mahinmi will dress for the first time since Nov. 26, as he's finally back to full strength after dealing with some lingering pain in both of his knees. Considering the length of his absence, the Wizards will ease Mahinmi back into the action, so he'll likely only be asked with playing a handful of minutes during each half. Once at full strength, Manhimi will likely settle into the 15-to-20-minute range in most games as the team's top backup at center, which should result in a more decreased role for reserve big man Jason Smith.
