Season-in-Review: Tristan Thompson

Veteran Big Man Battled Injury Bug but Packed a Punch in Limited Action

Season Overview: Tristan Thompson’s truncated 2018-19 Season wasn’t quite as frustrating as Kevin Love’s, but it’s still tempting to wonder what might have been had he been healthy for the entire campaign.

From the 2012-13 Season through ’15-16, the Toronto native didn’t miss a single contest – breaking Jim Chones' iron man streak by playing in 447 straight contests dating back to his rookie campaign. But he was limited to 53 games last year and a foot injury kept him on the shelf for all but 43 this year.
