Report: Wall will return to Wizards' lineup Saturday vs. Hornets

Washington Wizards fans are getting their All-Star point guard back.

John Wall, who hasn't played since Jan. 25 due to left knee surgery, will return to the court Saturday when the Wizards face the Charlotte Hornets, according to NBC Sports' Chris Miller, courtesy of NBC Sports' Chase Hughes. It's unclear, however, if Wall will be immediately thrust into the starting lineup, or if he will return in a reserve role at first.

Wall has missed the team's last 27 games while recovering from the procedure. Though he did dress and was activated for Thursday's matchup against the Detroit Pistons, the team had announced in advance that Wall wouldn't play.

The 27-year-old was averaging 19.4 points, 9.3 assists, and 3.6 rebounds this season for the Wizards before being sidelined with the injury.

Washington went 15-12 in his absence and currently sit in sixth in the Eastern Conference.
