Ricky Rubio participated in this morning's shootaround in Dallas and said he'll play tonight IF his ankle feels right after pre-game warmups.
"I mean, if it feels good, I'm going to be back," he said. "It depends how it goes. If I don't feel ready in the warmups, I won't be playing. I don't know, we'll see."
Rubio has not played since severely spraining his left ankle on Nov. 7 in Orlando. He has missed the last 42 games.
Veteran Mo Williams said he expects to play after missing the last two games because of a hip pointer.
That would give the Wolves three options at point guard tonight against a Mavericks team missing starting point guard Rajon Rondo.
Newly signed Lorenzo Brown had to play all but five seconds in Saturday's home loss to Cleveland because he was the only healthy point guard the Wolves had.
Rookie Zach LaVine won't play tonight, btw. He missed Saturday's game because of an ankle he sprained Friday in Philadelphia.
Flip Saunders said Saturday that Rubio would likely play "a few minutes" in his return.
