It has been one setback after another for the Mavericks. They have been dropping four straight games, the last one against Grizzlies. Not only that, they are currently standing at 15th in the Western Conference. This is a tough spot for a team already stretched thin by injuries and roster depth issues. Just when it seemed things couldn’t get any worse, their injury list has been updated hours before their tip-off against the Washington Wizards. After Anthony Davis being questionable, it is Klay Thompson debuting on the injury list.

ESPN’s Tim MacMahon reported on X that guard Klay Thompson, was suddenly ruled out. “Mavs SG Klay Thompson will miss tonight’s game due to illness. He was just added to the injury report,” the insider wrote, adding another blow to a team already lacking stability. Thompson, who has been averaging with 7.6 points per game, was still a stable presence in the Mavs roster. His sudden absence has already started to raise alarming questions from within the community.
