The Los Angeles Lakers will more than likely see the return of both Kobe Bryant ant Pau Gasol for their Friday night game against the visiting Washington Wizards at 10:30 p.m. ET.

Gasol, Bryant, Dwight Howard and Steve Nash have not played together since Jan. 30 for the Lakers (36-33), who have won 19 of 27 and currently own the final playoff spot in the Western Conference.
Bryant participated in five-on-five scrimmage Thursday, as did Gasol.
Bryant left practice a little early, according to the L.A. Times, because his sprained ankle stiffened up on him a bit, but Lakers coach Mike D'Antoni doesn't feel too concerned that'll have any effect on his availability in Friday's game.
Bryant is averaging 27.1 points, 5.4 rebounds, and 5.8 assists this season.
Meanwhile, Gasol has been out of action since first injuring himself on Feb. 5 against the Brooklyn Nets. He ended up missing 20 games because of a tear inside the bottom of his right foot. In Friday's game he's only expected to see limited amount of playing time.
"It's not good," Gasol said of his conditioning. "But I'll continue to work on it and it'll continue to get better."
Los Angeles has won four straight at home and 10 of 11 overall against the Wizards (24-43). Bryant scored 30 in the Lakers' 102-96 win at Washington on Dec. 14.
