Klay Thompson Questionable for Mavericks’ Game Against Rockets on January 1st Due to Illness

Klay Thompson of the Dallas Mavericks is dealing with an illness. He is currently listed as questionable for the team’s upcoming game against the Houston Rockets on January 1st, 2025. This status follows his absence in a recent game due to the same issue.

What It Means

If Klay Thompson cannot play, it could affect the Mavericks’ performance. This season, he has averaged 14.1 points per game and made about three three-pointers per game with a shooting percentage of 38% from beyond the arc. His presence on the court adds depth and scoring options for the team.

Without him, Quentin Grimes might see more playing time. Grimes averages 9.3 points per game and plays about 21 minutes each night. The team will need to adjust their strategy if Thompson remains sidelined, especially since he often ranks in the top five at his position for points and fantasy points in games this season.
