Marion a blessing for Mavs

Shawn Marion has played the last three games despite a sore left ankle and he was limping slightly after shootaround today. Don't bank on him missing the game tonight, however. He's been a game through it and talked like he wants to continue doing whatever he can. "I'm just taking it one day at a time,'' Marion said. "It's still sore and hurting. We're treating it, trying to get it stronger, but it is what it is. I'm trying the best way I can to fight through it and help my teammates.'' --Eddie Sefko
