Mavs' Larkin debuts 4 months after ankle injury

Rookie point guard Shane Larkin has made his debut for the Dallas Mavericks four months after breaking an ankle in a summer practice.

Larkin entered the game against Philadelphia late in the first quarter Monday night and had a steal on the first possession.

The 5-foot-11 Larkin was the 18th pick in the first round and injured his right ankle July 12 in the final workout before the summer league.
