Klay Thompson
Mavericks
Injury
Klay Thompson is set to return to the lineup for Thursday’s game against the Lakers, following a rest day during the loss to the Suns. With rookie Cooper Flagg possibly sitting out, Thompson could see an increased share of minutes, potentially impacting his usual role. Meanwhile, Khris Middleton’s 22-minute effort in his Mavericks debut indicates coach’s willingness to experiment with the veteran rotation.
