After long wait, Wayne Ellington finally has chance to play key role for Mavs

Posted Mar 13, 2014
A month ago, if somebody had said Wayne Ellington would be a major cog in the Mavericks’ playoff push, finding any believers would have been tough.

Ellington admits now that he wasn’t sure his chance to earn his keep with the Mavericks would ever come. (Dallas Morning News)
