Parsons (knee) will not play Tuesday against the Rockets, ESPN's Calvin Watkins reports.

Parsons played 37 minutes in the series opener, but appears to be in danger of being limited for the remainder of the series. An official starting lineup has yet to be released, but look for small forwards Al-Farouq Aminu and Richard Jefferson to potentially see extra minutes in his stead. Parsons will join Devin Harris on the inactive list.

Parsons continues to battle a knee issue that's plagued him since early April, but it would be hard to see him missing Game 2 unless the issue becomes unbearable. However, his status should be updated at some point over the next couple days heading into the game as to whether or not he will play.

Parsons (knee) scored 10 points (5-15 FG, 0-4 3Pt) with six rebounds and two assists in 37 minutes Saturday in the loss to the Rockets.

Parsons missed the last six games of the regular season and his return is vital to the Mavericks' chances this postseason. His numbers were down across the board in his first season in Dallas and will have to improve on his numbers if they are to advance past round one.

Parsons missed the last six games of the regular season due to a sore and swollen right knee, but the ailment won't stop him from aiding the Mavericks' postseason effort.

Parsons (knee) says he feels good and will play in Game 1 against the Rockets on Saturday, Mavs.com's Earl Sneed reports.

It will be a big series for Parsons on a personal level, as it is against his former Rockets teammates. He will play a crucial role in a gang effort to limit James Harden's offensive attack, and will be the third option offensively after Dirk Nowitzki and Monta Ellis.

Parsons returned to practice Friday, but the Rockets are hesitant to make a call on his status. Look for an update following Saturday's morning shootaorund.

Parsons (knee) will be back at practice Friday, Tim MacMahon of ESPN reports.

Parsons missed the final six games of the regular season with swelling his right knee but has since resumed basketball activities. Friday's practice will be telling of his viability ahead of Saturday's opener against the Rockets. If the 26-year-old is kept off the court or limited in his first game back then guys like Richard Jefferson and Al-Farouq Aminu are in line to see added playing time.

Coach Rick Carlisle said signs are "promising but not definite" that Parsons (knee) will be ready to play in the Mavs' postseason opener Saturday, Earl Sneed of Mavs.com reports.

Parsons, who missed the final six games of the regular season, continues to work back from a swollen knee. He'll likely need to put in a full practice before being given the green light, so look for a more definitive update following Friday's session.

Parsons (knee) will miss the final regular season game Wednesday, Eddie Sefko of the Dallas Morning News reports.

Parsons (knee) hopes to return for Wednesday's regular season finale, Earl Sneed of Mavs.com reports.

Parsons (knee) has officially been ruled out for Monday's game against the Jazz, Earl K. Sneed of the Mavs' official site reports.

While Parsons won't return to the court Monday, he's expected to rejoin the lineup for the regular season finale Wednesday against the Trail Blazers. The Mavs are locked into the playoffs with nothing to gain, so they'll likely take it easy with Parsons, but he should see some action in preparation for the playoffs.

Parsons (knee) is unlikely to play in Monday's game against the Jazz, but he should be back for a tune-up in Wednesday's regular-season finale against the Trail Blazers, ESPN's Tim McMahon reports.

The Mavericks have nothing left to play for, so they'll be resting Dirk Nowitzki, Monta Ellis and Tyson Chandler on Monday. While it's unclear whether or not those three guys will play in Wednesday's finale, it makes sense that the Mavs would want Parsons to get some game action before the playoffs start. Sunday's win over the Lakers marked Parsons' fourth consecutive absence.

Parsons (knee) will not play in Sunday's game against the Lakers, Eddie Sefko of the Dallas Morning News reports.

With Dallas locked in to the No. 7 seed, there isn't any incentive to rush Parsons back. Coach Rick Carlisle also said that he'll be resting two players for Sunday's game, but he declined to specify which ones. The obvious candidates are Dirk Nowitzki, Tyson Chandler and Monta Ellis. The Mavs may also rest some players in Monday's game against the Jazz.

Parsons (knee) has been ruled out for Friday's contest in Denver, despite fitting in some light shooting Thursday, the Mavericks' official site reports.

Parsons (knee) will sit out Wednesday's game against the Suns, Earl Sneed of Mavs.com reports.

Parsons (knee) didn't participate in practice Tuesday, the Mavericks' official site reports.

Last Thursday, Parsons suffered a right knee injury, which was "pretty swollen" afterward. He proceeded to sit out Saturday and seems on a similar path Wednesday versus the Suns, against whom he should be considered highly questionable.

Parsons (knee) didn't take part in practice Monday, the Mavericks' official site reports.

Parsons was merely contained to an exercise bike, which doesn't bode well for active status Wednesday against the Suns. Indeed, coach Rick Carlisle stated after drills that he's more optimistic that among injured Mavericks, Rajon Rondo (knee) is a better bet to practice Tuesday. As a result, Parsons seems highly questionable for Wednesday's outing.

Parsons (knee) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Warriors, Dwain Price of the Fort Worth Star Telegram reports.
