Ellis emerged from post-All-Star funk he's been in to drop 38 points in Tuesday's win over the Spurs. He also had two three-pointers, two rebounds, five assists, and two steals in 40 minutes.
Ellis told the media after the game that he has dealt with several injuries throughout the season and that he finally feels healthy. It's a bit convenient that he'd say he's fully healthy after posting one of his best games of the season, but the sentiment is easy to understand. There's not much to take from the big performance other than to acknowledge that anyone who uses Ellis in a shallow league should still be putting him in their active roster.
