Dallas Mavericks forward Chandler Parsons is poised to make his return from injury in his side's clash against the Los Angeles Lakers on Sunday.

The 26-year-old has missed the Mavericks' last seven matches after sustaining a sprained ankle and bone bruise against the Houston Rockets in February.

However, the forward is now ready to return to a team which has struggled without his presence on the court.

"Excited to get back on the court and help our team win games," Parsons told ESPN. "Trying to play our best basketball down the stretch and into the playoffs."

Parsons is averaging 15.4 points per game for the Mavericks this season.
