Mavericks' Parsons remains out with sprained ankle
A sprained ankle was originally supposed to sideline Chandler Parsons for three games, but the Dallas Mavericks forward will miss a fourth straight contest when the Mavs take on the Brooklyn Nets on Saturday.
Rick Carlisle told reporters Chandler Parsons doing "much better" but not able to play tomorrow night vs. Nets.

Parsons suffered the injury in last Friday's victory over the Houston Rockets.
Parsons is averaging 15.4 points, 4.8 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 1.1 steals in his first season in Dallas, while shooting 45 percent from the field and 37.5 percent from 3-point territory.
The Mavericks have been starting veteran Richard Jefferson in place of Parsons, who had started all 54 games he suited up for this season, though they've also leaned on defensive forward Al-Farouq Aminu.
