Injury updates
Doug Christie reported some soreness in his left ankle after a preseason-high 28 minutes Thursday but said he's physically ready for the start of the season.
Jerry Stackhouse (sore knee) didn't practice Sunday, though coach Avery Johnson hasn't ruled him out for the opener. The Mavs have another practice today.
Erick Dampier, who missed three preseason games because of a sore hip, will start against the Suns, but his minutes will be monitored as he regains his conditioning.
Unlike previous years, a player with an injury doesn't have to be placed on the injured reserve and miss at least five games. The NBA instituted an inactive list that can be updated every game.
So if Stackhouse is inactive Tuesday, he could be activated Wednesday against Utah if he's ready.
"The inactive list is so much easier," Johnson said.
