Dallas Mavericks Injury Report: Latest update on Klay Thompson and others

Dallas Mavericks will look to snap their difficult run of form as they prepare to face the Memphis Grizzlies on the road Thursday night in a key Western Conference matchup.

Dallas enters the contest with a 21–44 record after suffering a road defeat to the Atlanta Hawks on Tuesday. The loss extended the Mavericks’ losing streak to eight games, placing additional pressure on the team as it searches for momentum late in the season.

Despite the defeat, the Mavericks did see some positive individual performances in the game.

Klay Thompson listed as doubtful

Veteran sharpshooter Klay Thompson led Dallas in the loss to Atlanta, scoring 21 points while coming off the bench. However, the team’s injury report ahead of Thursday’s matchup has raised concerns about his availability.

Mavericks have listed Thompson as doubtful due to rest. If he ultimately sits out, it would mark his first missed game since March 3.

His absence could have a noticeable impact on Dallas’ offensive production, especially considering the team’s ongoing struggles during its current losing streak.

Role players could see increased minutes

If Klay Thompson does not take the court against Memphis, several Dallas Mavericks players may be called upon to step into larger roles.

Both Caleb Martin and Naji Marshall are expected to see increased minutes as Dallas attempts to adjust its rotation.

The team will likely rely on depth and defensive energy to compensate for the potential absence of one of its most experienced scorers.

Meanwhile, rookie standout Cooper Flagg delivered a strong performance against Atlanta, posting 14 points, 12 rebounds, and five assists. His versatility could again prove valuable if Dallas needs additional contributions across the lineup.

Irving and Lively out for the season

Dallas Mavericks are also dealing with longer-term absences. Star guard Kyrie Irving and center Dereck Lively II have both been ruled out for the remainder of the season.

Their absence continues to limit Dallas’ options on both ends of the floor, making upcoming matchups even more challenging.

As the Mavericks prepare to face Memphis, the focus will remain on managing injuries while attempting to halt their recent slide and regain competitive rhythm.
