Thomas update

Forward Tim Thomas said Tuesday that he is sufficiently healed from the sprained left ankle which kept him out of Sunday's game against the Mavericks and expects to be ready for tonight's game against Sacramento.

``It's up to Mike. Whatever he needs,'' Thomas said. ``I got a little soreness, but it's nothing that's going to hold me back.''

Dunleavy wasn't as optimistic, hedging Thomas' status after practice by saying that ``If he doesn't play (Wednesday) then definitely by Saturday.''
