The Washington Wizards will have their starting center back against the Orlando Magic on Wednesday, as the team announced Nene will return to the lineup.

The big man missed Monday's double-overtime victory over the Boston Celtics due to a sore right knee after returning for only two games following a bout with plantar fasciitis.

Nene has averaged 10 points, 5.1 rebounds, 2.2 assists and 1.2 steals in 13 games for the 14-6 Wizards this season.
