Thompson won't start Wednesday's game against the Trail Blazers, Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle reports.
As expected, Thompson will rejoin the reserves with Fred VanVleet back in action following a one-game absence. Even with VanVleet healthy, expect Thompson to handle a significant workload off the bench considering the Rockets are down Jabari Smith (ankle), Tari Eason (lower leg) and Jae'Sean Tate (wrist)
