EDGE Analysis

Deng fit in contact work at Tuesday's practice for the first time in two weeks, which led the forward to declare his intention to play Wednesday. Barring a setback in shootaround or pregame warmups, he appears set to return following a six-game absence, but it's unclear if he'll take over his typical starting spot at small forward.
