Washington Wizards center Thomas Bryant is available for Wednesday's contest against the Orlando Magic after missing the past year due to a partially torn ACL, the team announced.

Bryant hasn't played since sustaining the injury Jan. 9, 2021, versus the Miami Heat.

The former second-round pick was the Wizards' primary starting center in the previous three campaigns.

Bryant averaged 11.8 points, 6.6 boards, and one block over 128 appearances for Washington. He registered the league's fourth-highest field-goal percentage (61.6%) in 2018-19.

The Indiana product is set to become an unrestricted free agent this summer.
