DENVER -- The Cleveland Cavaliers will not have starting center Tristan Thompson on Saturday night, head coach Larry Drew announced prior to tipoff.
Thompson will miss his second straight game because of foot soreness.
At the start of the new year, Thompson returned from a sprained foot that cost him 10 straight games. Since coming back, Thompson has recorded three double-doubles in eight contests.
He started feeling soreness in that same foot during this current six-game road trip and Drew held him out of Friday's loss against the Utah Jazz. With this being the second game of a back-to-back, the Cavs opted to sit him once again.
