The Mavericks are already extremely shorthanded, as they entered the game against the Thunder without Marvin Bagley III (neck sprain), Cooper Flagg (left midfoot sprain), P.J. Washington (left ankle sprain) and Naji Marshall (right finger contusion). That list of injuries doesn\u2019t include Dereck Lively II and Kyrie Irving who are out for the rest of the season.<\/p>\n<p class=\"body-text-paragraph\">Thompson was off to a decent start in the first half against the NBA\u2019s defending champions, scoring 7 points of 3-of-8 shooting in 14 minutes.<\/p>\n<p class=\"body-text-paragraph\">He exited the game with 1:59 remaining in the second quarter and did not return in the second half. Head coach Jason Kidd didn\u2019t offer any details on Thompson\u2019s injury after the game.<\/p>\n<p>Mavericks<\/p>\n<p class=\"dmnc_features-cta-social-article-cta-social-module__3beff secondaryRoman secondaryRoman-20 text-center text-gray-dark\">Be the smartest Mavericks fan.
