GAME LOG

Good source of ball movement Thompson produced six points (3-10 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 0-3 FT), one rebound, six assists and two steals in 31 minutes during Saturday's 77-48 loss to Purdue.
Impact Thompson accounted for a majority of Butler's 10 total assists in the loss. He recorded five in the first half, three of which came before the first media timeout. Once Purdue was able to slow down his passing, Butler suffered a five-minute scoring drought. The senior has recorded 25 assists over his last four games and will look to continue his brilliant passing against St. John's on Thursday.

Disorients defenders in win Thompson amassed 14 points (4-8 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 6-7 FT), five rebounds, 10 assists, one block and two steals across 34 minutes during Saturday's 66-54 win over Eastern Illinois.
Impact Thompson recorded his first double-double of the season to help his team earn a fourth consecutive win. He was able to force the defense to respect the interior by feeding Ty Groce on a few dunks in the first half. In the second half, he then capitalized on the collapsed defense to assist teammates in three-point range on three separate occasions. Over his last three appearances, the senior has averaged 9.7 points and 6.3 assists during 36 minutes.

Cleared after head shots Thompson finished Wednesday's 84-51 victory over Chaminade with zero points (0-1 FG), four rebounds, two assists and one block across 18 minutes.
Impact Thompson saw his lowest minutes total since his return, which can likely at least be partially attributed to taking multiple shots to the face/head that forced him to exit the contest. Fortunately, according to David Woods of The Indianapolis Star, Thompson was ultimately cleared to return. Butler has a long break on tap and isn't taking the court until Nov. 30, so Thompson should long be free of any ill effects by the time that date rolls around.
NOVEMBER 25, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Scores nine in return Thompson contributed nine points (4-8 FG, 1-6 FT), two rebounds, two assists, one block and two steals over 29 minutes during Wednesday's 73-52 loss to Michigan State.
Impact Thompson's three-game suspension to start the season has wrapped up, and it appears he's picking up where he left off last season by immediately resuming a starting role. He ended up seeing the second-most minutes among Butler players in the contest, with backup Simas Lukosius limited to just nine minutes in a reserve capacity. What Thompson and the Bulldogs didn't count on was a shoulder injury that knocked power forward Bryce Nze out of the game, and a failure to adjust heavily contributed to the 20-plus point defeat. Any absence there would likely leave another six or seven field goal attempts per game to go around for the rest of the squad.

Starting in return from suspension Thompson is among the starters for Wednesday's game against Michigan State.
Impact Thompson was suspended for the first three games of the 2021-22 season due to a violation of team rules, but will retake his spot on the ball upon his return to action. His return presumably moves Chuck Harris off the ball and results in Simas Lukosius moving to a bench role.

Butler suspends starting point guard Aaron Thompson for first three games Aaron Thompson is suspended for this week’s three home games for an unspecified violation of team rules, the school announced.
NOVEMBER 9, 2021 • INDYSTAR.COM
Suspended first three games Thompson has been suspended for Butler's first three games of the 2021-22 season, David Woods of The Indianapolis Star reports.
Impact Thompson's suspension stems from an unspecified violation of team rules. It will prevent him from taking part against IUPUI, Central Arkansas and Troy, but it will allow the senior guard to rejoin the action for the first big contest of the season again Michigan State on Nov. 17. Thompson's early absence could lead to more of Chuck Harris and/or Simas Lukosius playing on the ball.
NOVEMBER 9, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Double-double in exhibition Thompson had 11 points (5-10 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT) and 10 assists across 35 minutes in Saturday's 94-84 exhibition victory against Tiffin.
Impact Butler probably didn't expect to see 35 minutes out of its presumed starting point guard, but with fellow ball-handler Chuck Harris (undisclosed) sidelined and the game relatively close, Thompson's presence was needed more than anticipated. Thompson missed time early last year due to a knee injury and was later sidelined due to a season-ended shoulder injury that he was just cleared for in mid-October. While he was only on the court for 14 games, he did set a career-best scoring average at 10.4 ppg while shooting 52.7 percent from the field.

Cleared for basketball activites Thompson (shoulder) has been fully cleared to take part in basketball-related activities, Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports reports.
Impact Thompson's 2020-21 season ended with him on the sidelines due to the shoulder issue, but he appears to be in good shape with the 2021-22 campaign just around the corner. Barring a setback, Thompson should be available for the regular season. The Bulldogs being exhibition play Oct. 30 versus Tiffin (Ohio), which will mark his first opportunity to get into game action.
OCTOBER 13, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Closing in on clearance for contact Thompson (shoulder) is "close to being cleared for full contact," Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports reports.
Impact Thompson should serve as the Bulldogs' primary point guard again in 2021-22 after racking up 10.4 points, 4.7 assists, 2.5 rebounds and 1.1 steals per game last year. The senior looks to be trending in the necessary direction to take his spot on the ball with plenty of time left before the season fires up.
SEPTEMBER 23, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Done for season Thompson (shoulder) will miss the remainder of the 2020-21 season, David Woods of The Indianapolis Star reports.
Impact Thompson injured his thumb and shoulder ahead of the game against Xavier and hasn't taken the floor since then. Unfortunately, the senior won't take the floor again this season and will finish out the year averaging a career-best 10.4 points to go along with 4.7 assists, 2.5 rebounds and 1.1 steals per game. With the NCAA granting an extra season of eligibility to all winter sport athletes, Thompson would be eligible to return to the Bulldogs next season.
MARCH 4, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Remains out Sunday Thompson (shoulder) will not be available for Sunday's game against Villanova.
Impact Thompson is set to miss a third consecutive game because of an apparent shoulder and thumb injury. His next chance to return will come March 6 against in the regular-season finale Creighton as Chuck Harris is expected to get another start in his absence while he remains sidelined.

Missing out Wednesday Thompson (shoulder) will sit out Wednesday's game against Seton Hall.
Impact Thompson was one of three players deemed questionable for the Bulldogs on Wednesday along with Bryce Nze (groin) and Bo Hodges (calf), but only Nze will give it a go. Without Thompson available, the Bulldogs will likely turn to Myles Tate for more time on the ball, while Myles Wilmoth, Jair Bolden and Christian David are candidates to receive some added playing time.
FEBRUARY 24, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Deemed questionable for Wednesday Thompson (shoulder) is considered questionable for Wednesday's game against Seton Hall, David Woods of The Indianapolis Star reports.
Impact Thompson is one of three Bulldogs who didn't take the floor Saturday for various reasons. The fact that he hasn't been ruled out for Wednesday is a good sign, but the senior's status for the contest could come down to the wire. Look for more information as the opening tip draws closer.

Not playing Sunday Thomspon is dealing with a thumb and shoulder injury and will not be available to play in Sunday's game against Marquette.
Impact Thompson must've suffered the injuries sometime during practice leading up to Sunday's game because he played a normal dose of minutes during Wednesday's loss to Marquette. With him sidelined, the Bulldogs will be without three of their usual starters as Chuck Harris should figure to slide into the starting unit in his place.

FEBRUARY 13, 2021 • Associated Press
Gathers eleven assists in loss Thompson finished two points (1-2 FG), one rebound, 11 assists and two steals through 35 minutes during the 78-63 loss to Georgetown on Saturday.
Impact Thompson was barely used the entire match in the shooting department. The guard had a season-low two attempts on the floor, but at least moved the ball around enough to make up for his lack of point production with a season-high in assists (11). Thompson has been very on and off and produces big in one category only. Thompson will need to become more consistent before he can be a streaming option.
