Dallas Mavericks guard Monta Ellis suffered only a light strain of his right hamstring and hopes to play on the team’s three-game road trip, a league source said.
The Mavs will update Ellis’ status after their Sunday morning shootaround in Boston.
Ellis is pushing to play Sunday against the Celtics, the source said, but is likely to rest at least one game.
Ellis suffered the injury late in the fourth quarter of the team’s 103-81 home win Friday night against the Utah Jazz. He underwent an MRI on Saturday morning to determine the severity of the strain and traveled with the team to Boston in the afternoon.
