Jakob Poeltl is good to go.

The Toronto Raptors will have their starting center available Wednesday night against the Dallas Mavericks following a left ankle sprain he suffered Monday night.

Poeltl participated in shootaround Wednesday afternoon and didn't appear to have any limitations.

The 28-year-old center missed 11 games earlier this year with a serious left ankle sprain. Toronto puttered to a 2-9 record over the stretch without a reliable backup center to fill the void.

Dallas is expected to be near full strength with Luka Doncic, Dante Exum, and Derek Lively II all listed as probable. Maxi Kleber is listed as doubtful.
