Thompson joins a long list of injured players for the Mavs. The silver lining, however, is that Flagg will play against Phoenix despite dealing with a left wrist sprain.
As for Thompson, it does not appear that the five-time All-Star has suffered a new injury. His absence on Wednesday is merely for rest purposes after he logged 26 minutes in Tuesday’s 116-103 loss to the Los Angeles Clippers.
Thompson’s next chance to return will be on Friday in a road matchup against the San Antonio Spurs. The Mavs will then close out their season on Sunday with a home game against the Chicago Bulls.
