Klay Thompson Questionable for Saturday; Mavericks Explore Trade Market

Dallas Mavericks guard Klay Thompson is questionable for Saturday's game against the 76ers due to left knee soreness, potentially marking his first non-back-to-back absence for the issue this season. The Mavericks are also reportedly exploring the trade market for the 35-year-old, whose $16.7 million contract this season and $17.5 million next complicates potential deals. Thompson is averaging 10.8 points per game off the bench, with his 3-point shooting improving to over 40% in his last 10 games, though his season average is 35.7% and defense has declined.
