Marion back:

BOSTON – Dallas Mavericks forward Shawn Marion declared himself ready to return after missing the previous two games with a strained groin.

Marion will play Wednesday night against the Boston Celtics as the Mavs try to extend their winning streak to a season-best four games. He expects to start at power forward with Dahntay Jones playing small forward.

“I’m feeling good. I’m ready to go,” Marion said after the morning shootaround. “I’ve got these special compression pants on that are supposed to keep areas real sniff and tuck. I’m good to go.”
