Monta Ellis: Questionable to play Saturday

Ellis (back) is questionable to play Saturday against the Jazz, Candace Buckner of the Indianapolis Star reports.

Analysis:

Ellis had to leave Thursday's tilt in Portland after taking a knee to the back and was unable to return. He was able to participate in Saturday morning's shootaround, but mostly just stood still shooting. Expect the Pacers to formally update Ellis' status as game time approaches.
