Mavericks injury report: Klay Thompson upgraded for Celtics game
Mavericks' Klay Thompson upgraded to available vs Celtics
Klay Thompson has been dealing with a left ankle sprain. The Dallas Mavericks' injury trouble has been impossible to ignore this season and Dallas would love for Thompson to return from the injury as soon as possible. So with the Mavs set to host the Boston Celtics in a 2023-24 NBA Finals rematch on Saturday, is Thompson playing in the game?
One of those players missing in those games was Klay Thompson. Thompson has missed the last two games with a sprained left ankle, but he entered Saturday's contest as questionable to play against the Boston Celtics.
Klay Thompson was a cornerstone of the Golden State Warriors dynasty, helping them secure 4 NBA Titles. However, his departure from the franchise this offseason marked the end of an era – one riddled with loyalty questions in its final stages.
Luka Doncic is among six Mavericks players who will not be available for Monday night's game against the Wizards.
Thompson (ankle) is available for Saturday's game versus the Celtics but will be limited to around 24-25 minutes, Grant reports.
Harrison is pleased with what Thompson has provided so far, but says Dallas will truly benefit from having the veteran in the playoffs.
The Dallas Mavericks will play their fourth and final matchup of the season against the Oklahoma City Thunder on Thursday, with both teams playing on the second night of a back-to-back. Both teams are also dealing with hefty injury reports, with 12 players total out for this matchup.
For MFFLs who can stomach keeping track, that’s three Dallas centers lost to injury in an 11-day span: Dereck Lively II, Dwight Powell and Kleber. The Mavericks’ season-long “next man up” mantra is being tested at a mind-boggling rate and proportion.
The Dallas Mavericks will take on the Minnesota Timberwolves in a regular season matchup on Wednesday. Ahead of the game, eight Mavericks players, including Klay Thompson, appear on the injury report, though Kyrie Irving is confirmed to play against Minnesota.
As well as Kyrie Irving has played, the hobbled Mavericks have been a bottom-seven offense over the past month, minus Luka Dončić.
The Dallas Mavericks and Boston Celtics met in Dallas on Saturday for their first matchup since last season's NBA Finals. Dallas was missing many key pieces, including starters Luka Doncic and Dereck Lively II, while Boston was wrapping up a four-game road trip.
The Celtics bounce back from an embarrassing 21-point loss to the Los Angeles Lakers. Read more at straitstimes.com.
