This graph shows how crazy Monta Ellis' 237 consecutive games played streak was

Monta Ellis has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Indiana Pacers, bringing to an end 237 consecutive games played by the 6'3 guard dating back to November of 2012.

While Ellis streak maybe should have ended sooner, his ability to play through minor injuries is impressive. Although Ellis' streak wasn't the longest in the league -- DeAndre Jordan is the current leader at 309 games played, while Tristan Thompson has reached 281 -- it was remarkable for an older Mavericks team that has been banged up this year.

Here's a graphic with the longest consecutive games played streaks for each of the major Mavericks, and hopefully it puts into perspective Round of applause.
