Eddie Jones To Return To Practice

The Dallas Morning News reported today that Eddie Jones will report back to practice on Tuesday. Jones, as well as Dallas guard Devean George will be on the court together for the first time as the Mavericks practice in San Antonio. George returned to practice last week but it will be Jones' first practice in nearly three weeks due to a lower right leg injury.

Mardy Collins Not Seeing Any Court Time

Mardy Collins who has averaged close to 14 minutes in games that he has played, hasn't seen any action since a Nov. 21st loss to Detroit, where he only played one minute. There have been four games since then, three victories and one blow out loss, but no action for Collins.

Collins acted as Isaiah Thomas' muse during his brief benching of Stephon Marbury earlier this season but with Marbuy back in a starting role, Collins has not seen any action.
