Monta Ellis (knee) will be available to play Monday against the Spurs

Ellis, who has been dealing with a sore knee lately, was able to complete morning shootaround and will be available to play Monday against the Spurs, Candace Buckner of the Indianapolis Star reports.

Analysis:

Ellis has acknowledged lately that he's still in the recovery process from offseason surgery on his right knee, and while it hasn't cost him any games, the veteran guard's production is way below what we're used to seeing. He's averaging just 12.2 points, 4.5 assists, and 2.9 rebounds across 32.5 minutes per game on the campaign.
