The Dallas Mavericks will again be shorthanded on the second night of a back-to-back.

The Dallas Mavericks will play their fourth and final matchup of the season against the Oklahoma City Thunder on Thursday, with both teams playing on the second night of a back-to-back. Both teams are also dealing with hefty injury reports, with 12 players total out for this matchup.

Klay Thompson received an injury update ahead of the Mavericks' game on Wednesday night against the Timberwolves.

Klay Thompson was a cornerstone of the Golden State Warriors dynasty, helping them secure 4 NBA Titles. However, his departure from the franchise this offseason marked the end of an era – one riddled with loyalty questions in its final stages.

Harrison is pleased with what Thompson has provided so far, but says Dallas will truly benefit from having the veteran in the playoffs.

The Dallas Mavericks will take on the Minnesota Timberwolves in a regular season matchup on Wednesday. Ahead of the game, eight Mavericks players, including Klay Thompson, appear on the injury report, though Kyrie Irving is confirmed to play against Minnesota.

Eight players are on the injury report for the Mavericks' game against the Timberwolves, including Klay Thompson and Dereck Lively II.

Klay Thompson is listed as questionable for the Dallas Mavericks' matchup against the OKC Thunder on Thursday. The four-time NBA champion's participation will be a game-time decision.

Iffy for Wednesday

Despite their loss to the Denver Nuggets, the Dallas Mavericks are on a hot streak in the NBA, improving even without Luka Doncic. Klay Thompson has stepped up, setting a surprising record that led him to mention LeBron James.
