Mon Apr 13 201501:24Monta Ellis: (Rest) Out Monday
Ellis (rest) will not travel to Utah for Monday's game against the Jazz, Eddie Sefko of the Dallas Morning News reports.
The same goes for Dirk Nowitzki and Tyson Chandler, while Chandler Parsons (knee) is also unlikely to play, according to Tim McMahon of ESPN Dallas. Rajon Rondo previously took a game off Friday, and while he's apparently the only starter expected to play, he probably won't get extra minutes. It's unclear what the Mavs will do for Wednesday's regular-season finale against the Trail Blazers, but there is some chance that Ellis, Nowitzki, Parsons, and Chandler return for a final tune-up before the playoffs.

Wed Apr 1 201520:10Monta Ellis: (Calf) Starting Wednesday
Ellis (calf) is starting Wednesday's game at Oklahoma City, The Oklahoman reports.
Coach Rick Carlisle said Tuesday that Ellis would have to be 100 percent before returning from Sunday's absence due to a sore right calf, so he should be good to go. In 12 games in March, he averaged 18 points (on 41 percent shooting), 3.1 assists, 2.7 rebounds, 1.8 steals, and 0.8 three-pointers in 33 minutes.
Wed Apr 1 201511:16Monta Ellis: (Calf) Probable Monday
Ellis (calf) is probable for Monday's game against the Thunder, Earl K. Sneed of the Mavs' official site reports.
Ellis was waiting until he felt 100 percent to rejoin the lineup, and it appears that day has likely come. While he hasn't been confirmed as playing yet, that should be determined one way or the other at some point prior to the opening tip-off.
Tue Mar 31 201518:49Monta Ellis: (Calf) Will Play When 100 Percent
Ellis (calf) isn't "going to play unless he's 100 percent," the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.
Coach Rick Carlisle made the proclamation, which followed the news that Ellis completed the entirety of Tuesday's practice. As a result, he's seemingly in line to play Wednesday at Oklahoma City, unless a setback occurs prior to the game. If he fails to take the court Wednesday, his next chance to suit up arrives Thursday against the Rockets.

According to coach Rick Carlisle, Ellis will most likely be listed as questionable for Wednesday's matchup with Oklahoma City. Ellis was removed from Friday's loss to the Spurs with a right calf injury, and he missed his first game since the 2011-12 season Sunday versus Indiana. If Ellis does not play Wednesday, his next chance comes Thursday when the Mavs host Houston.

Sat Mar 28 201512:41Monta Ellis: (Calf) "Very Doubtful" For Sunday
Ellis (calf) is "very doubtful" for Sunday's game against the Pacers, Eddie Sefko of The Dallas Morning News reports.
Ellis missing the game would end a 237-games played streak, an impressive streak of health. Devin Harris would get the start with Ellis out. Ellis' next opportunity to play would come Wednesday against the Thunder.
