At 2-7, the Dallas Mavericks hold the worst record in the Western Conference to start the 2025-26 NBA season. As they look to snap a four-game losing streak on Saturday against the Washington Wizards, the team will be even more short-handed than usual, with Klay Thompson added late to the injury report.
Thompson was officially listed as out for the Mavericks’ game against the Wizards due to an illness, according to ClutchPoints’ official Mavericks reporter Joey Mistretta. This will mark the first game Thompson has missed this season.
In addition to Thompson’s absence, the Mavericks are already facing frontcourt challenges. Dereck Lively II is sidelined with a knee injury, while Anthony Davis and Daniel Gafford are both listed as questionable for the upcoming game against Washington.
Thompson is in his second year with Dallas after signing as a free agent last offseason. So far this season, he has appeared in nine games, averaging just about 20 minutes per game—a career low. His stats include 7.6 points, 2.9 rebounds, and 1.9 assists per game, with shooting splits of 31.6 percent from the field, 26.4 percent from three-point range, and a perfect 100 percent from the free-throw line.
