C.J. McCollum: (Ankle) Probable For Sunday

McCollum (ankle) is listed as probable for Sunday's playoff opener in Memphis.

Analysis:

McCollum's availability backs up his statement Friday that he's "ready to go" for Sunday's contest. He displayed his readiness by making hard cuts on his left ankle during Friday's practice, and injuries to the wing rotation could very well result in the start at two-guard. On the other hand, coach Terry Stotts may desire McCollum's offense off the bench, meaning Allen Crabbe appears to be the other candidate to receive the nod.
