Cavaliers' Tristan Thompson: Returning to Cleveland
Tristan Thompson and the Cleveland 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
Tristan 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.

Cavaliers' Tristan Thompson: Returns from suspension vs. Houston
Tristan Thompson amassed five points (2-3 FG, 1-2 FT), five rebounds, one assist and one steal over 15 minutes during Saturday's 117-103 loss to the Rockets.It was Thompson's first NBA action since Jan. 22, as the big man served a 25-game suspension for violating the league's Anti-Drug program. Before the suspension, Thompson was typically the first big man off the bench and had a bigger role when Evan Mobley (ankle) missed 22 games after undergoing surgery on his knee in December. Mobley is expected to miss more time after spraining his left ankle against the Celtics on March 5, so Thompson's return comes at an opportune time for the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Cavaliers' Tristan Thompson: Suspended 25 games
The NBA announced Tuesday that Tristan Thompson has been suspended 25 games for violating the league's Anti-Drug Program, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.Thompson has been serving as the top backup to starting center Jarrett Allen of late, but he likely would have been at risk at dropping out of the rotation once Evan Mobley (knee) likely returns to action shortly before the All-Star break. With Mobley's return still likely a week or more away, however, the Cleveland Cavaliers will presumably turn to Damian Jones to fill minutes at center when Allen is off the floor. Thompson is first eligible to return from suspension March 16 versus the Rockets.

Cavaliers' Tristan Thompson: Secures seven rebounds off bench
Tristan Thompson racked up six points (3-5 FG), seven rebounds and three assists across 21 minutes during Thursday's 123-104 loss to the Pelicans.While Thompson was unable to score in double figures for a second consecutive game Thursday, he posted his second-highest rebound total of the season as part of a well-rounded stat line.

During that time, he averaged 5.6 points and 5.4 rebounds in 16.3 minutes per game.

Cavaliers' Tristan Thompson: Double-doubles off bench
Tristan Thompson racked up 10 points (5-7 FG), 13 rebounds, two assists and two blocks over 29 minutes during Monday's 104-94 loss to Orlando.Evan Mobley (knee) missed his second game in a row for Cleveland, and Jarrett Allen fouled out after just 15 minutes. Dean Wade started for Mobley and played well, but Thompson had an even bigger impact in relief of Allen, posting season-best marks in points (10) and rebounds (13) en route to his first double-double of the campaign. With Mobley's status up in the air for Tuesday against the Celtics, Thompson could get another decent opportunity for minutes.

Cavaliers' Tristan Thompson: Limited again Wednesday
Tristan Thompson registered one point (1-2 FT), three rebounds and one block in six minutes during Wednesday's 121-111 win over the Magic.Thompson played fewer than 10 minutes for the third straight game, continuing his disappointing season. As long as the Cleveland Cavaliers are healthy, Thompson is simply too far down the pecking order to have any chance at playing meaningful minutes. Hence, there is nothing to see here in terms of fantasy value.
