Felton (ankle) will not begin his four-game suspension Thursday, Dwain Price of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.

Analysis:

Felton is facing a four-game suspension stemming from a weapons incident last season, but he's unable to begin serving the ban until he's healthy enough to be considered active. He's still dealing with an ankle issue, so his next chance to begin the suspension will come Tuesday when the Mavs host Sacramento.
