Josh Boone returned to practice on Monday after missing more than a week of action, and for now, he's likely the starting center for Wednesday's game in Washington. Lawrence Frank hasn't made anything official, but he noted that Boone is more experienced and more vocal on the defensive end than Brook Lopez. As far as being in shape, "I wasn't nearly as out of shape as I thought I was going to be," Boone said.
