Dudley (back) is expected to practice Wednesday without facing any restrictions, J. Michael of CSN Washington reports.

Analysis:

Dudley, who has sat out the Wizards' entire preseason schedule after undergoing surgery in the offseason to repair a bulging disc, has been trending toward a return to full practice by increasing his activity from non-contact work to partial participation in drills. The Wizards have yet to determine if Dudley will take part in any of the team's final four exhibition games, but in any event, it's looking quite likely that he'll be available off the bench for the start of the regular season.
