NEW ORLEANS (AP)—Dallas center Tyson Chandler(notes) says he’s ready to return
from his right ankle sprain and play in Wednesday night’s game against the
Hornets, who are getting forward Trevor Ariza(notes) back from a groin strain.
Chandler and Ariza each have missed their teams’ past three games.
Hornets coach Monty Williams says he’s putting Ariza, who has averaged 11
points and 5.4 rebounds this season, back in the starting lineup.
Chandler did not make the decision to play until doing some work on the
court about an hour before tip off. He says he’s pleased to return to action in
New Orleans against his old team.
In 57 games this season—all starts—Chandler has averaged 10.4 points,
9.4 rebounds and 1.1 blocks.
