Chris Paul, who has missed the past 25 games after undergoing arthroscopic knee surgery in early February, will make his return to the Hornets’ starting lineup Monday night against the Mavericks, the team just announced.

The move means rookie Darren Collison will return to the bench, while Marcus Thornton is set to start tonight as the two-guard.

New Orleans went just 8-17 while Paul sat out.
