Cleveland Cavaliers: Tristan Thompson’s injury will test Cavs’ leadership

The Cleveland Cavaliers should be grateful for how Tristan Thompson has performed this season, despite a rough set of circumstances. As our own Jackson Flickinger and Josh Friedman have noted lately, Thompson has been the “one constant” and has “emerged as a leader.” For with the way everything else has transpired for the Cavs, that has to count for something, especially in the locker room. According to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski, Thompson “is expected to miss two to four weeks with a sprained foot,” after an unfortunate landing on the floor against the Milwaukee Bucks Monday night.
