• Cavaliers' Tristan Thompson: Sees 20 minutes

  04/11/2025 • By RotoWire

  Thompson closed with seven points (3-8 FG, 1-2 FT) and 12 rebounds in 20 minutes during Thursday's 114-112 loss to the Pacers. Evan Mobley was rested Thursday, allowing Thompson to absorb some backup center minutes. He's always been an elite rebounder and is worth a look for any fantasy manager targeting boards if the Cavaliers opt to rest their key players during the final two games of the season.

• Cavaliers' Tristan Thompson: Ejected vs. San Antonio

  03/28/2025 • By RotoWire

  Thompson was ejected during the fourth quarter of Thursday's game against the Spurs after being assessed a Flagrant 2 foul, Ethan Sands of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports. He failed to score (0-1 FG) and recorded four rebounds and one block in eight minutes before departing. Thompson was tossed for what was deemed an excessive elbow to the head of Julian Champagnie. Jarrett Allen and Dean Wade will be asked to hold down the center position in Thompson's absence.

• Cavaliers' Tristan Thompson: Pulls down 10 rebounds

  01/21/2025 • By RotoWire

  Thompson contributed one point (0-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-4 FT), 10 rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal over 26 minutes during Monday's 118-92 victory over the Suns. Thompson made just his 18th appearance of the season Monday and put together his best rebounding performance so far. He took advantage of some garbage time in the win, but with Evan Mobley (calf) considered day-to-day, Thompson is bound to be on the outside of the rotation sooner rather than later.

• Cavaliers' Tristan Thompson: Returning to Cleveland

  09/06/2024 • By RotoWire

  Thompson and the Cavaliers agreed to a one-year contract Friday, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports. Thompson rejoined the Cavaliers last season and saw a decrease in production, averaging 3.3 points and 3.6 rebounds in 11.2 minutes per game over 49 regular-season appearances. He'll remain in Cleveland for another season, but it wouldn't be surprising to see his diminished role continue since Jarrett Allen and Evan Mobley should see most of the work under the basket.

• Cavaliers' Tristan Thompson: Logs 12 minutes Friday

  05/04/2024 • By RotoWire

  Thompson posted two points (1-3 FG), two rebounds and one block across 12 minutes during Friday's 103-96 loss to the Magic in Game 6 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs. Thompson played as the primary backup behind Evan Mobley, something that Cleveland fans may be hoping will not happen again. Other than providing additional size, Thompson rarely has much of an impact on the court in the late stages of his career. Jarrett Allen (ribs) will almost certainly be doing everything possible to make it back for Game 7.
