Lakers' Luol Deng: Will play Sunday

Deng (wrist) will start at small forward in Sunday's game against the Mavericks, Mike Trudell of Lakers.com reports.

Analysis:

Deng was labeled questionable heading into the day after logging a full practice Saturday, but it looks like he'll be good to go following a two-game absence. The return of Deng won't push Brandon Ingram out of the starting lineup, however, as Ingram is slated to move over to point guard in place of the injured D'Angelo Russell (knee, calf). Larry Nance, who is returning from a knee injury, should serve as the primary backup to Deng.
