Gay (shoulder) will play in Thursday's game against the Mavericks, Kings' reporter Kayte Christensen reports.

Analysis:

Gay was questionable heading into Thursday's game, but after going through a workout on the court it was announced that he would play. He missed the last two contests and it is unclear if he'll be at all restricted or limited in his return, though he will be in the starting lineup.
