Mavericks' Andrew Bogut: Expected to play Wednesday

Coach Rick Carlisle said he expects Bogut (calf) to return to action Wednesday against the Clippers, Dwain Price of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.

Analysis:

A sore calf kept Bogut out of Monday's loss to the Spurs, but the issue was never considered to be anything serious. As such, Bogut should be considered probable as Wednesday's tip approaches. Salah Mejri replaced Bogut in the starting lineup Monday, and he'll likely move back to the bench, assuming Bogut is ultimately cleared to play.
