Pacers' Tristan Thompson expected to debut Friday
Indiana Pacers forward/center Tristan Thompson is expected to be available on Friday versus the Cleveland Cavaliers, per head coach Rick Carlisle.
What It Means:
Thompson is set to make his Pacers debut after being acquired earlier this week. The 30-year-old doesn't have a clear role on a team that is going in a younger direction, so Thompson may be stuck behind Goga Bitadze, Isaiah Jackson (ankle, questionable), and Oshae Brissett on the depth chart.
Thompson is averaging 0.98 FanDuel points per minute this season.
