Mavs' Lee will play in Game 3 vs. Thunder; Williams ruled out
Dallas Mavericks power forward David Lee will suit up in Game 3 against the Oklahoma City Thunder on Wednesday night after sitting the first two games with a partially torn plantar fascia in his right foot.
Point guard Deron Williams, however, has been ruled out due to a sports hernia which kept him out of the fourth quarter of Monday's 85-84 victory. He finished Game 2 with 13 points and five assists on 5-of-9 shooting in 26 minutes.
Lee will receive a pain-killing injection prior to the game, ESPN's Tim MacMahon reports.
The 32-year-old veteran said earlier in the evening that he was unsure whether he was going to compete or not, although he did appear to be moving well on his injured foot at the time.
Since being signed by the Mavericks after the Boston Celtics bought him out, Lee's averaged 8.5 points and 7.1 rebounds on 63.6 percent shooting in 25 appearances.
The Mavericks and Thunder are currently locked at 1-1 in their best-of-seven series.
