Cleveland Cavaliers forward Tristan Thompson suffered a mouth injury following a collision with Julius Randle Sunday night against the Los Angeles Lakers, ESPN.com's Dave McMenamin reported.
Durability has been one of Thompson's greatest strengths since the Cavaliers selected him with the fourth overall pick in the 2011 draft. After playing in 60 of Cleveland's 66 games as a rookie, he didn't miss a single game over the next four seasons.
While he'll never score consistently at a high volume, Thompson more than proves his worth with his rebounding and defense.
