Jan Vesely returns to practice but can’t finish because of nagging hip injury

Found December 21, 2011 on Washington Post:
PLAYERS: Jan Vesely
TEAMS: Washington Wizards

As John Wall approached, Philadelphia 76ers second-year guard Evan Turner got down in his defensive stance, and slowly backpedaled. Turner bit as Wall dribbled left, then stumbled as Wall crossed over and drove right. Wall blew past him, then elevated for vicious one-handed jam over Craig Brackens. Turner went back to the next play, as Wall hooted and cursed, and had to deal with...
