Hollis

Thompson

Thompson played 18 minutes Monday night, so the 76ers are likely just giving him some rest on Tuesday.

Thompson was never expected to make the team and he’ll now likely join Sacramento’s G-League affiliate.

Thompson last played in the NBA during the 2016/17 season for the Pelicans. Thompson won’t have a fantasy impact, even if he does manage to make the Kings final 15-man roster.

Thompson, out of Georgetown, is recovering from a groin injury that caused him to go undrafted last month, and will simply be hoping to make a deep OKC team. He won’t play in Summer League as he continues to try to get healthy. Only $75,000 of his contract is guaranteed, so he’ll have to show something early to stick on the roster.

Philly’s offense was their Achilles heel all season, and could benefit from the addition of a guy like Harkless (projected as a top-20 pick) or even Thompson (late second-round pick). Philly has three picks this year, Nos. 15, 45 & 54, and in addition to scoring they want to add a big man.

“I love to score,” he said. “I love to play for my team,” he added when asked about what he could bring to OKC. Thompson joined the Thunder after going undrafted out of Georgetown. His groin injury, which was actually a sports hernia, sidelined him down the stretch last season, and with only $75,000 of his contract guaranteed, he’ll have to prove that he belongs early in training camp.

Thompson has been dealing with the injury since last season and is fighting just to make the Thunder roster. The former Georgetown product holds zero value for fantasy owners.

Orton was widely viewed as one of the most talented big men in the 2010 draft, but his career has yet to get off the ground. Thompson and Rautins are also unlikely to crack a rotation this year.

It’s the Oklahoma City Thunder’s D-League team, and neither player was claimed off waivers after OKC cut both before the season began. They’ll accrue minutes in the D-League and hope for a call-up at some point.

He did not play on Saturday against the Pacers due to knee soreness and this injury snapped his consecutive games played streak at 131. Hawes had knee soreness in training camp and has dealt with it earlier in his career. He’ll have until Wednesday to heal up before starting the Sixers three-game week, but this is definitely enough to move him to the bench in some weekly leagues. Hollis Thompson has stepped it up and hopefully the team will have Thaddeus Young (personal) back for that game, too.
