Veteran guard Willie Green worked out during the morning shoot-around and last night before the 76ers game against the Dallas Mavericks and decided he could play.

Green has a left hip flexor strain suffered during Sunday's 93-72 loss to the New Orleans Hornets. The injury occurred in the first quarter, but he stayed in the game.

"I wanted to make sure it was feeling well," Green said before last night's game at the American Airlines Center. "I was already leaning toward playing but wanted to make sure if I went out hard to see if it felt good, and it did."
