J.J. Redick will return to action Thursday vs. Mavericks

A bulging disc in Redick's lower back has kept him on the sidelines since Feb. 3, and Rivers says that the Duke product will play "at a limited basis" against the Mavericks.
"I still like J.J better in the starting lineup, to be honest," Rivers said. "I just think with his minutes it makes no sense to do that."
