Tristan Thompson to miss fourth straight game because of foot soreness; Is it time to be concerned?

BOSTON -- Tristan Thompson and Larry Nance Jr. were the last two players to walk onto the TD Garden parquet Wednesday morning for head coach Larry Drew's pre-shootaround chat.

Neither will play Wednesday in Boston.

Thompson is set to miss his fourth straight game because of left foot soreness -- the same foot that forced him out of 10 consecutive games in December before returning in the new year.

According to sources, there is belief that Thompson returned a bit too soon, before his sprained foot was fully healed and now the Cavs are being more cautious.
