INDEPENDENCE, OHIO– Tristan Thompson may return to the court on Tuesday against the Atlanta Hawks, but with his arrival comes questions about his role.
Thompson has not played since Nov. 1 when he suffered a calf injury. At the time, the team said it was a calf strain that would require the Cavs’ starting center to miss three-to-four weeks of action. Thompson said that timeline itself was inaccurate and that the injury was worse than a strain. He declined to go into details about the nature of the injury itself.
“Who said that was a real timetable,” Thompson said after Cavs’ practice on Monday.
