Thompson closed Friday's 102-98 victory over the Heat with 18 points (8-14 FG, 2-3 FT), nine rebounds, five assists, one block and seven steals over 35 minutes. Thompson returned to the court after missing the past six games due to an ankle injury. Demonstrating that it is possible to return from an injury without requiring a ramp-up period, Thompson moved straight into the starting lineup, playing without a minutes' restriction. He picked up where he left off, tallying a career-high seven steals while falling one rebound short of a double-double. Barring any setbacks, Thompson should be good to go as the Rockets look to build momentum heading into the playoffs.

Amen Thompson Latest News
Dominates in return

Thompson closed Friday's 102-98 victory over the Heat with 18 points (8-14 FG, 2-3 FT), nine rebounds, five assists, one block and seven steals over 35 minutes. Thompson returned to the court after missing the past six games due to an ankle injury. Demonstrating that it is possible to return from an injury without requiring a ramp-up period, Thompson moved straight into the starting lineup, playing without a minutes' restriction. He picked up where he left off, tallying a career-high seven steals while falling one rebound short of a double-double. Barring any setbacks, Thompson should be good to go as the Rockets look to build momentum heading into the playoffs.
Full go Friday

Thompson will play without a minutes restriction and enter the starting five for Friday's game versus the Heat, Vanessa Richardson of Space City Home Network reports. Thompson is set to play his full workload against Miami after missing Houston's previous six contests due to a sprained left ankle. Thompson has averaged 15.0 points, 9.9 rebounds, 5.5 assists and 1.3 blocks in 36.4 minutes across his last 10 appearances.
Expected to play against Miami

Thompson (ankle) is listed as probable for Friday's game versus the Heat. Thompson is expected to return to action Friday after missing Houston's previous six outings due to a sprained left ankle. While the 22-year-old could reclaim his starting spot from Tari Eason, he will likely operate on a minutes restriction.
Progressing toward return

Head coach Ime Udoka said Monday that Thompson (ankle) has yet to go through contact drills, though he is progressing well and could return as soon as Friday's game against Miami, Danielle Lerner of the Houston Chronicle reports. Thompson has been out since March 10 due to a sprained left ankle, though he is expected to return shortly after he is able to go through contact drills. An MRI on the 22-year-old's ankle showed no structural damage, but he'll likely operate under a minutes restriction whenever he returns from the extended absence. Over his last 10 appearances, Thompson has averaged 15.0 points, 9.9 rebounds, 5.5 assists and 1.3 blocks across 36.4 minutes per contest.
Sidelined 10 to 14 days

Thompson will be out 10 to 14 days due to a left ankle sprain, Shams Charania of ESPN reports. Thompson, who sustained the left ankle injury during Saturday's game against the Pelicans, underwent an MRI that revealed a sprain and no structural damage to the ankle. The second-year pro is expected to miss approximately the next two weeks. Cam Whitmore figures to see an expanded role while Thompson is sidelined.
Will undergo MRI on Sunday

Thompson (ankle) will undergo an MRI on Sunday after exiting Saturday's win over the Pelicans in the fourth quarter, Kelly Iko of The Athletic reports. Thompson exited Saturday's blowout win over New Orleans after landing on Karlo Matkovic's foot in the fourth quarter, and a more precise timeline for recovery should be known after the MRI. According to Iko, Thompson was seen in a walking boot and crutches exiting the arena after Saturday's win, during which he posted 15 points (7-11 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), nine rebounds, 11 assists and a block across 33 minutes. Based on this latest update, his chances of playing Monday against the Magic are slim.
Exits early in blowout win

Thompson headed to the locker room midway through the fourth quarter during Saturday's game against the Pelicans after landing awkwardly, Kelly Iko of The Athletic reports. Thompson sat on the ground before limping over to the stanchion, and then he headed to the locker room. With the Rockets up by a considerable margin midway through the fourth quarter at the time of his exit, Thompson didn't return to the contest as Houston secured a 146-117 win. Thompson posted 15 points (7-11 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), nine rebounds, 11 assists and a block across 33 minutes. His status is worth monitoring, as the Rockets' next game will come Monday against the Magic.
Double-double in New Orleans

Thompson finished Thursday's 109-97 victory over the Pelicans with 21 points (10-13 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-4 FT), 11 rebounds, two assists and one block in 38 minutes. The double-double was his second straight and 18th of the season. Thompson remains somewhat inconsistent, but the second-year forward has scored more than 20 points in three of six appearances since the All-Star break, averaging 16.0 points, 10.2 boards, 3.7 assists, 0.8 blocks and 0.7 steals over that stretch while shooting 58.1 percent from the floor, but a worrying 46.7 percent from the free-throw line.
Omitted from injury report

Thompson (shoulder) isn't listed on Houston's injury report for Tuesday's game against the Pacers. After missing Monday's loss to the Thunder, Thompson, Alperen Sengun (back) and Dillon Brooks (knee) will all be available for the second half of Houston's back-to-back set. Fred VanVleet (ankle) remains out, so Thompson should be the starting point guard.
