Strong in return Thompson provided six points (2-6 FG, 2-6 3Pt), eight rebounds and one block over 21 minutes during Saturday's 58-57 win over Colorado State.

Impact Thompson's return from a five-game absence will result in a major boost to the depth of the Wyoming frontcourt -- something it has been significantly lacking with Graham Ike sidelined due to injury. Thompson also matched his season-best rebounding total in this one, and is now posting a career-best 5.3 rpg on the year.

Available Saturday Thompson (illness) is good to go for Saturday's contest against Colorado State, Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports reports.

Impact Thompson has been sidelined since Dec. 31 due to an illness. Given the time of his absence, it would not be surprising for Wyoming to ease him back into the swing of things.

Filling in for Ike Thompson closed Monday's 102-69 victory over Colorado Christian with 15 points (5-8 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 1-1 FT), five rebounds, one block and one steal across 27 minutes.

Impact With presumed starter Graham Ike on the sidelines for the next 6-to-8 weeks due to a right foot injury, Thompson got the call in the starting five and produced admirably against a DII opponent. Freshman center Nate Barnhart also sat out the contest due to an undisclosed issue, so the Cowboys are currently a bit stressed for depth at the five. That could lead to fantasy relevance for Thompson in formats that include the Mountain West, at least until Ike eventually returns.

Impact The senior is making his first start of the season with teammate Graham Ike (undisclosed) out. Across 15 outings this year, Thompson is averaging 3.8 points and 2.2 rebounds.

In starting lineup Thompson (undisclosed) will start Saturday's game against Air Force.

Impact Thompson missed just one game, so this seemed like the logical outcome when it was announced he would be active. The junior doesn't typically produce big numbers but has had the occasional outburst in the scoring column.

JANUARY 16, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Active Saturday Thompson (undisclosed) is available to play in Saturday's game against Air Force, Davis Potter of the Casper Star-Tribune reports.

Impact Thompson apparently got a little "dinged up" in Monday's loss to Boise State and sat out Wednesday's rematch as a result. The 6-10 junior is ready to go for Saturday's game and should figure to reassume his role in the starting lineup for Wyoming.
