Dallas Mavericks veteran Klay Thompson is on the team's injury report ahead of facing the Cleveland Cavs on Sunday. After Mavericks rookie Cooper Flagg's historic night in a 138-105 loss to the Cavs, he'll likely miss a rematch on the road. Flagg recorded his 25th 20+ point game, passing Hall of Fame guard Kobe Bryant for most 20+ point performances by a teenager.
Thompson is listed as questionable on the Mavericks' injury report for Sunday's rematch against the Cavs. He joins center Daniel Gafford, who is battling an illness and is also questionable. Caleb Martin is listed as probable for Dallas.
After a 21-point performance in the Mavericks' 124-112 loss to the Atlanta Hawks, Thompson finished with six points and two rebounds on 3-for-11 shooting in a 138-105 loss to the Cavs on Friday. This season he is averaging 11.8 points on 39.2% shooting, including 38% from deep, 2.3 rebounds and 1.4 assists per game.
All-Star Donovan Mitchell and the Cavs will be looking for their first consecutive wins since a seven-game winning streak in February. The Mavericks have lost nine of their last 10 games.
