Is Klay Thompson playing tonight against New York Knicks? Latest injury update for 4x NBA champ (Nov. 27)

Klay Thompson will not play in Wednesday's contest between the Dallas Mavericks and New York Knicks. The four-time NBA champion is on the Mavericks injury report again after missing Monday's game against Atlanta. Thompson was questionable, citing a left foot plantar fascia injury. He was ruled out before the game.

Thompson was out with the same injury against the Hawks before carrying a questionable status.

With Luka Doncic out, the Mavericks would have hoped Thompson could play, as the Knicks have been in solid form lately and will need all the firepower possible to manage a win.

Klay Thompson stats vs. New York Knicks

Klay Thompson has played 20 games against the New York Knicks, averaging 19.7 points, 3.9 rebounds and 2.1 assists. He's shot 46.0%, including 41.8% from 3. Thompson holds an impressive 15-5 win-loss record vs. New York. It's the first time he will face the Eastern Conference heavyweights in a Mavericks jersey.

His best outing against the Knicks came in January 2019 when he dropped 43 points on 62.1% shooting, including 43.8% from 3. Thompson added two steals and two blocks, leading the Warriors to a 122-95 win.

Now, with the Mavericks, the 34-year-old is far from that version of himself. However, Thompson remains one of the best shooters in the NBA and if he can find a rhythm, a huge scoring night can be inevitable.

He's not been at his best lately, averaging a measly 9.8 ppg on 26.1% shooting across his last four outings.

Klay Thompson will hope to break out of the slump soon after a promising 15-point night against the Heat on Sunday, shooting 3 of 5.
