Heat's Klay Thompson: Questionable for Friday
Thompson (ankle) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Cavaliers.
Thompson sat out Thursday's practice and could miss Friday's game due to left ankle soreness. If the veteran sharpshooter is held out of the front end of this back-to-back set, Andrew Wiggins, Tim Hardaway and Ryan Conwell could see increased burn, especially if Pelle Larsson (illness) is also ruled out.

Heat's Klay Thompson: Sits out practice
Thompson (ankle) didn't practice Thursday, per Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel.
The veteran sharpshooter presumably picked up an ankle injury during Tuesday's 115-109 victory over the Jazz. Thompson can be tentatively considered questionable for Friday's game against Cleveland.

Heat's Klay Thompson: Shooting difficulties in victory
Thompson contributed 11 points (3-13 FG, 2-10 3Pt, 3-3 FT), one rebound, two assists, two blocks and one steal in 30 minutes during Tuesday's 115-109 victory over the Jazz.
Thompson struggled to shoot from deep, and the cold streak has followed him from Dallas to his first season in Miami. He made up for it on defense with a key block in the closing minutes. The Heat need his production if he remains a starter, and the hope is that the shot comes around during the upcoming homestand.

Heat's Klay Thompson: Hits for 23 in Sacramento
Thompson supplied 23 points (8-15 FG, 7-13 3Pt), two rebounds, four assists and two blocks in 32 minutes during Sunday's 114-108 win over the Kings.
The veteran wing is re-discovering the long-range shooting form that it seemed he'd left behind in Golden State. Thompson's drained multiple three-points in five straight games and poured in at least seven in three of those contests, averaging 21.6 points, 5.6 treys, 2.8 assists, 1.6 boards and 1.0 blocks over that span while shooting a blistering 50.0 percent from beyond the arc, and 52.8 percent from the floor.

Heat's Klay Thompson: Notches 11 points
Thompson closed with 11 points (3-10 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 3-3 FT), three assists and two blocks over 23 minutes during Thursday's 120-100 loss to the Warriors.
Thompson received a warm reception in his return to Golden State but struggled to find his shooting rhythm, connecting on just two of seven attempts from beyond the arc. The veteran guard was coming off a game-winning three-pointer against the Clippers on Wednesday but couldn't sustain that momentum. His two blocks provided an unexpected fantasy boost, though his value remains heavily dependent on perimeter shooting.

Heat's Klay Thompson: Buries eight triples in narrow win
Thompson notched 30 points (11-22 FG, 8-17 3Pt), five rebounds, three assists and one block across 35 minutes during Wednesday's 117-116 overtime win over the Clippers.
Thompson has made at least four three-pointers in three straight games. After an ice-cold preseason, the veteran sharpshooter has turned things around and is giving Miami valuable spacing around Giannis Antetokounmpo and Bam Adebayo. Thompson is a strong streaming option for threes while he's this hot, though his lack of peripheral production limits his ceiling.

Heat's Klay Thompson: Keeps foot on gas Monday
Thompson amassed 19 points (7-11 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 1-1 FT), one rebound and one assist in 27 minutes during Monday's 138-117 loss to the Lakers.
Thompson stayed hot Monday, sinking at least four triples for a second consecutive game. The veteran sharpshooter should continue spacing the floor for Miami's star-studded frontcourt, averaging 11.9 points, 1.3 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 3.3 three-pointers in 21.9 minutes per game so far this season.

Heat's Klay Thompson: Lights it up from long range
Thompson supplied 25 points (9-14 FG, 7-12 3Pt) and three assists across 26 minutes during Friday's 145-125 win over the Pacers.
The 36-year-old turned back the clock to his peak Splash Brothers days in Golden State, with the seven made threes equaling his total from the prior three games combined. Thompson's 25 points were also a season high, but he's only reached double digits in three of six contests so far in 2026-27 as he adjusts to his new role with Miami. Thompson's averaging 10.7 points, 3.2 treys, 1.3 boards and 1.3 assists in 21.0 minutes to begin his tenure with the Heat.

Heat's Klay Thompson: Shooting woes continue
Thompson contributed six points (2-8 FG, 2-7 3Pt), one rebound and one assist across 15 minutes during Monday's 113-109 loss to Dallas.
Thompson struggled from the field and played a season-low 15 minutes as Miami dropped its fourth consecutive game. The veteran sharpshooter has scored six points or fewer in two of his last three appearances, shooting just 29.0 percent (9-for-31) from the field during that stretch. His limited playing time and inconsistent shooting make him difficult to trust in standard fantasy leagues.

Heat's Klay Thompson: Drains three treys Wednesday
Thompson tallied 10 points (3-6 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 1-1 FT) and a rebound across 16 minutes in Wednesday's 131-106 loss to the Timberwolves.
Thompson made three triples but offered virtually nothing outside the scoring column, highlighting his increasingly specialized fantasy profile. His 16-minute workload was particularly concerning, as limited playing time can make it hard to generate consistent three-point production, especially since three bench players (Bobby Portis, Nikola Jovic and Pelle Larsson) played 20-plus minutes. Unless his minutes increase considerably, Thompson could struggle to provide reliable fantasy value beyond occasional perimeter shooting.

Heat's Klay Thompson: Ice cold in preseason loss
Thompson finished with zero points (0-7 FG, 0-6 3Pt), three assists and one rebound in 15 minutes during Friday's 136-115 preseason loss to the Magic.
Thompson rounded out what has been a poor preseason, missing all seven of his shot attempts. While he will almost certainly be better than this on most nights, the simple fact is that Thompson's days of being a viable fantasy asset are well and truly behind him. For a player with little to no upside, Thompson is still being drafted in standard leagues, which seems illogical.

Heat's Klay Thompson: Notches 12 points
Thompson finished with 12 points (5-10 FG, 2-7 3Pt), one rebound and one block across 23 minutes in Wednesday's 144-128 preseason win over the Nets.
Thompson started alongside Davion Mitchell in Miami's backcourt but struggled to find his rhythm from deep, missing five of seven three-point attempts. He still reached double figures by converting three shots inside the arc. The veteran's perimeter shooting remains his primary fantasy appeal, though his contributions outside the scoring column were minimal Wednesday.

Heat's Klay Thompson: Resting Saturday
Thompson (rest) is out for Saturday's preseason game against the Timberwolves, Eric Nehm of The Athletic reports.
The 36-year-old vet will receive a maintenance day Saturday, but he should be back in action for Wednesday's preseason meeting with the Nets. Tim Hardaway should be more involved in the rotation Saturday with Thompson unavailable.

Heat's Klay Thompson: Held scoreless in preseason opener
Thompson recorded zero points (0-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt) and two rebounds across 13 minutes in Saturday's 129-105 preseason win over the Raptors.
Thompson only played in the first half of Saturday's contest and didn't offer much in his preseason debut for the Heat. He started Miami's preseason opener and is the favorite to get the starting nod at shooting guard when the regular season begins.
