Amen Thompson News, Rumors, Updates - Houston Rockets

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.

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

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.

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.

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.
