Klay Thompson Expected To Play Back-To-Backs Moving Forward
Klay Thompson is expected to play back-to-back sets of games moving forward, per head coach Steve Kerr. Thompson has had a couple major injuries in his career and has been subjected to some rest days when the Warriors play a back-to-back set of games. However, it looks like rest days are behind him, and Thompson should see a lot fewer of those the rest of the regular season. There is still some chance Kerr gives Thompson a rest day if some soreness occurs, but this is a good sign for Thompson's availability moving forward.

Klay Thompson Good To Go Wednesday
Klay Thompson (foot) is not on the injury report for Wednesday's play-in contest against the Sacramento Kings. The veteran sharpshooter missed Sunday's regular-season finale against the Memphis Grizzlies with a foot sprain. This was only his third absence since the beginning of February, so Thompson has enjoyed a healthy spell, which is a big plus for the Mavericks. Thompson averaged 14.0 points per game during his first year in Texas. However, his recent output has been inconsistent, as Thompson has finished three of his last five appearances with single-digit points. The Kings limited Thompson to 11.0 points during the regular season, despite his red-hot 46.2 percent shooting from downtown.

Klay Thompson A Late Scratch For Wednesday
Klay Thompson (illness) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Indiana Pacers. Thompson is a late scratch due to an illness. The 35-year-old hasn't been out of action since February 13th. The Mavs are already without Anthony Davis (adductor) and Kyrie Irving (knee) and to make matters worse, Brandon Williams (hamstring) is also sidelined. However, Jaden Hardy (ankle) has been cleared to play tonight after missing seven consecutive contests with an ankle injury.

Klay Thompson Will Not Play On Thursday
Klay Thompson (foot) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Miami Heat after being downgraded from questionable to out. Thompson logged 34 minutes on Wednesday in a special matchup against his former team, the Golden State Warriors, and the Mavericks will manage his workload by giving the veteran the night off against Miami. Kyrie Irving (shoulder) has also been ruled out, which means the Mavericks will enter Thursday's contest without any of their regular starters. Naji Marshall, Dante Exum, Max Christie, and Spencer Dinwiddie could all emerge as key players instead of the usual suspects.

Klay Thompson Is Questionable On Thursday
Klay Thompson (foot) played 34 minutes against his former team on Wednesday night, but he is listed as questionable on Thursday against Miami for the second half of the Mavericks' back-to-back set of games before the All-Star break. Thompson had 17 points, seven assists, two rebounds, two blocks, and a steal in the win and has been a solid recent contributor for the Mavericks, who are dealing with multiple injuries in their frontcourt. Thompson is joined by Kyrie Irving (shoulder) as questionable on the injury report, and if Kyrie is out but Klay plays, he could have a heavy workload. If both starters are sidelined, the rest of the depth chart will be especially busy, opening huge fantasy opportunities for Spencer Dinwiddie, Max Christie, and Naji Marshall.
