What It Means:

If the training staff clears him, Warriors' interim coach Luke Walton said Thompson would play on Friday despite dealing with some pain during shootaround this morning. Ian Clark would be the likely starter if Thompson and Leandro Barbosa (illness, questionable) are unable to go. On Thursday, Thompson referred to his ankle as being 70 percent.

Thompson's 5.5 nERD ranks 34th this season, and he's averaging 18.2 points, 3.6 rebounds and 2.5 assists in 22 games played. We project his numbers to stay roughly the same over the remaining course of the season, forecasting him to average 19.4 points, 3.6 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 2.4 3-pointers made per game while shooting 45.5 percent from the field.
