Lee (heel) will play in Game 3 on Thursday against the Thunder, Tim McMahon of ESPN.com reports.

Analysis:

Lee was sidelined for the first two games of the Mavericks' series against the Thunder, but he will be able to suit up and play through the plantar fasciitis in his right foot Thursday. According to McMahon, Lee will require a pain-killing injection in his foot prior to tip-off, but he could still be limited overall given the nature and location of his injury.
