Monta Ellis: (Ankle) Will Play Tuesday

Ellis (ankle) is not expected to miss any time, according to coach Rick Carlisle, Mavs.com's Earl Sneed reports.

Analysis:

He left Sunday's game with a left ankle injury, but was cleared to return and Carlisle simply opted to keep him out as a precaution. Ellis is well known as someone who does not miss time due to injury, so owners can feel secure in the fact that he will play Tuesday.
