Webster (hip) remained absent from practice Thursday, Jorge Castillo of The Washington Post reports.

Analysis:

There's no telling when Webster may take the court again while he continues to work his way back from a right hip strain. Jared Dudley, one of Webster's competitors for reserve minutes at small forward, returned to full-contact practice Wednesday, which could leave Webster as a low man in the pecking order for playing time once he's healthy enough to play again.
