Tyson Chandler: (Ankle) Starting Thursday

Chandler (ankle) is starting Thursday's game in Oklahoma City, the Mavericks' official site reports.

Chandler suffered an ankle sprain on Monday, Feb. 9 and missed Dallas' final game before the break. Upon his return Thursday, he isn't expected to be subject to a firm minutes cap, meaning he should approach his typical 31 minutes per contest.
