Thompson’s injury took place when the six-year pro made a basket and turned to run down the court. He stopped in his tracks, however, and clutched his left leg. Thompson had two points, seven rebounds, and one block in the game.
Jae Crowder started the second half in Thompson’s relief as the Cavs look to end their three-game skid by defeating the 4-3 Pacers.
