Felton (back) expects to play Friday versus the Wizards, the Wall Street Journal reports.

Analysis:

Felton left Wednesday's game with back and rib contusions before returning in the fourth quarter. He acknowledged that he's banged up but stated that someone would have to "tear [his] legs off" to keep him out of the lineup. Barring an unforeseen development, Felton's legs are expected to remain attached to his body, so consider him probable to take the floor Friday.
