Spurs guard Manu Ginobili will play in Game 4 against the Mavericks on Sunday despite suffering a nasal fracture on Friday night in Game 3.
Ginobili will not need surgery to repair the fracture.
He suffered the injury in the third quarter when he caught an accidental elbow from Dallas star Dirk Nowitzki.
"I had no doubt that he was going to return," Spurs forward Tim Duncan said. "He has a strong nose on him."
