Waiters has missed the last three games with a strained left ankle, but as
expected, he’ll be back in the starting lineup Monday. He’s not expected to be
on any sort of minutes restriction, so look for him to take on a full workload.
Prior to the injury, Waiters had averaged 17.7 points, 3.7 rebounds, 5.0
assists, 2.0 steals and 2.3 three-pointers in the first three games of February,
so if he can knock off the rust, there’s a chance he’s able to return to his
pre-injury form. With Waiters healthy, look for Wayne Ellington to return to the
bench and see a big drop in minutes.
