Klay Thompson Injury: Won't play Wednesday

Thompson (knee) won't play in Wednesday's game against Minnesota, per Grant Afseth of DallasHoopsJournal.com.

The veteran sharpshooter is sitting out the front end of this back-to-back set with left knee soreness. Head coach Jason Kidd is optimistic that Thompson will be able to suit up Thursday against the Hornets. The banged-up Mavericks should turn to Caleb Martin to soak up extra minutes Wednesday, and Jaden Hardy is an option to enter the rotation and handle decent run off the bench.
