Set to play Thursday Thompson (ankle) has been cleared to play Thursday against the Warriors, Varun Shankar of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Impact Thompson suffered a right ankle sprain during Monday's matchup with Golden State, but after receiving several days off between games, he'll be ready to run the floor Thursday. He's been performing at a high level across the board of late, as he's averaging 16.6 points, 9.0 rebounds, 4.2 assists and 1.8 steals in his last five appearances, which includes three double-doubles.

Listed questionable for Thursday Thompson (ankle) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Warriors.

Impact Thompson sprained his right ankle in Monday's win over Washington and is in danger of missing just his third game of the season. According to Rockets reporter Will Kunkel, head coach Ime Udoka said Wednesday that Thompson will be good to go Thursday, though the questionable tag suggests there's still some uncertainty surrounding his availability. If he's ultimately ruled out, Reed Sheppard would likely get the starting nod.

Good to go for Thursday Thompson (ankle) is good to go for Thursday's game against the Warriors, according to Rockets reporter Will Kunkel.

Impact Thompson didn't return to Monday's 123-118 win over the Wizards after exiting with 8:11 remaining in the fourth quarter due to a right ankle injury, but it sounds like it was a minor tweak. Thursday's game is the front end of a back-to-back set, but Thompson's fantasy managers can go ahead and pencil him into lineups.

Not known for outside shooting, the guard also knocked down a three-pointer for his 19th trey of the campaign. An update on the specifics and severity of Thompson's injury should surface soon, with the Rockets' next game coming Thursday against the Warriors.

Exits with ankle injury Thompson (ankle) went to the locker room in the fourth quarter of Monday's game against the Wizards, Will Guillory of The Athletic reports.

Impact Thompson checked out at the 8:11 mark of the fourth quarter and headed to the locker room after grabbing at his right ankle. The Rockets may opt to be cautious with the 23-year-old, and if he doesn't return down the stretch Monday, Reed Sheppard would likely handle point guard duties, with Dorian Finney-Smith, Aaron Holiday and Josh Okogie serving as reserve reinforcements.

Double-double in Miami Thompson closed with 20 points (7-16 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 6-12 FT), 11 rebounds, four assists and one steal across 39 minutes during Saturday's 115-105 loss to the Heat.

Impact The double-double was the 12th of the season for Thompson, and third in February. The third-year guard struggled to stay healthy and productive during the month, and through 10 games he averaged 13.3 points, 7.2 boards, 4.3 assists, 1.7 steals and 0.8 blocks.

Available to play Thompson (quadriceps) is available for Thursday's game against the Magic.

Impact Thompson was given the night off Wednesday for the front end of a back-to-back set as he continues to manage his tendinitis. With Thompson back in the mix, Reed Sheppard's overall upside will take a hit.

FEBRUARY 26 • ROTOWIRE

Listed out for Wednesday Thompson is out for Wednesday's game against the Kings due to left quadriceps tendinitis.

Impact Considering Wednesday is the first leg of a back-to-back, it's fair to wonder if the Rockets are taking a cautious approach with Thompson. Reed Sheppard stands out as the most likely candidate to replace Thompson in the starting lineup Wednesday, and he should see a big boost in fantasy value in that role.

Pops for 20 in Monday's rout Thompson finished Monday's 125-105 victory over the Jazz with 20 points (8-9 FG, 4-5 FT), seven rebounds, three assists, one block and two steals over 29 minutes.

Impact It's the first time in eight February games that Thompson has scored at least 20 points. The third-year guard's lack of offensive production has been due to a decline in usage rather than efficiency -- he's shooting 52.7 percent from the floor on the month but has attempted just 9.3 FGs a game, down significantly from his 13.2 attempts per game on the season. On those eight February contests, Thompson is averaging 13.0 points, 7.0 boards, 4.5 assists, 1.9 steals and 0.9 blocks.

Records double-double during loss Thompson closed Saturday's 108-106 loss to the Knicks with 12 points (5-9 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-4 FT), 10 rebounds, seven assists, one block and three steals in 41 minutes.

Impact All but one of Thompson's double-doubles are a result of a high rebounding total, and he recorded 10-plus rebounds for the 11th time this season during the narrow defeat. Thompson was unable to find many scoring opportunities against the Knicks, but there shouldn't be much concern about the regressive scoring total. He's averaging 17.4 points per game this season and has the potential to often blow past this average.

Thompson is averaging 11.2 points, 5.6 rebounds, 3.8 assists and 1.6 steals over his last five games.

Another solid effort Thompson amassed 12 points (5-8 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, five assists and one steal across 41 minutes during Wednesday's 105-102 loss to the Clippers.

Impact Thompson was technically available Saturday against the Thunder, but the Rockets decided to keep him on the sidelines. Assuming he's feeling better, Thompson will likely be a full go Tuesday which could push Reed Sheppard back to the second unit.

FEBRUARY 9 • ROTOWIRE

Doesn't play Saturday Thompson (illness) didn't play in Saturday's 112-106 win over the Thunder.

Impact Thompson was a late addition to the injury report Saturday due to an illness. While he was ultimately upgraded to available ahead of the contest, he did not see the floor. He'll have until Tuesday's game against the Clippers to recover. If he's forced to miss additional time, Reed Sheppard and JD Davison may continue to see increased playing time.
