Thompson, Haliburton miss Mavs-Pacers tilt; Davis progressing
INDIANAPOLIS -- Klay Thompson and Tyrese Haliburton have been ruled out of Wednesday night's game between the Dallas Mavericks and Indiana Pacers.
Thompson will not play because of an illness, another blow for the already short-handed Mavs as they try to get in the playoff picture. Haliburton continues to recover from an injured back after an awkward fall in Saturday's game against Milwaukee.
Dallas coach Jason Kidd also said All-Star center Anthony Davis had a "positive experience" in his most recent 5-on-5 practice with the Texas Legends, the Mavs' G-League affiliate. Kidd, though, also acknowledged that Davis is still expected to miss more time.
