Markieff Morris will play tonight vs. the Indiana Pacers after sitting out the Wizards' last game with a sore right calf, and Ian Mahinmi will play for the second game in a row for the first time this season.

Mahinmi logged 12 minutes in Wednesday's 114-110 win at the Brooklyn Nets when Morris sat. Kelly Oubre replaced him in the starting lineup while Otto Porter shifted to Morris' spot.

"Really (it was) precautionary reasons," Morris said of being a late scratch. "It was just super-tight."

Both players went through the Wizards' shootaround Friday morning. Mahinmi played for the Pacers the previous four seasons before signing with the Wizards (31-21) as a free agent this summer.

The backup center had platelet-rich plasma therapy on both knees in December.

Morris missed a game earlier this season because of soreness in his right foot and ankle. The calf soreness could've been connected to it.

"It's usuallly a trickle-down eeffct," Morris said. "Tight ankle makes everything tight. I'll be alright. Ready to go."
