Tyson Chandler: (Hip) Out Saturday

Chandler (hip) won't play Saturday against the Nets due to a hip contusion, the Dallas Morning News reports.

Analysis:

Although Chandler was hopeful that he would make his return Saturday, the Mavericks have opted to give Chandler additional rest. Bernard Jams is the likely candidate to start at center in his place, but with another day to recover, Chandler is a prime candidate to return Monday against the Pelicans.
