Martell Webster took the next step towards making his season debut at practice on Thursday. According to CSN Washington's J. Michael, Martell Webster went through a full practice on Thursday, though the team didn't have any 5-on-5 drill's after Wednesday's win against the Magic:
Martell Webster fully practiced for the first time since last season Thursday, and according to a person with knowledge of the situation, he plans on being back on the court for game action "in a week-and-a-half."
On that timetable, Webster would make his return at home against the Suns or Bulls, or possibly as a Christmas gift when the Wizards travel up to New York to face the Knicks.
Webster has been out all season after undergoing surgery in June to repair a herniated disc in his back that was expected to sideline him for 3-5 months. Late last month, he was cleared for contact at practice as the first major milestone in his return to NBA action.
Webster's return should help the Wizards, but Randy Wittman will need to find a way to integrate him into the action and still find playing time for last year's first round pick, Otto Porter, and Rasual Butler, who is off to a hot start this season off the bench.
