After missing Houston's last six games with a sprained left ankle, second-year guard/forward Amen Thompson is listed by the Rockets as probable to return in Friday's game versus the Heat. Tipoff from Miami's Kaseya Center is at 7:00 p.m. Central.
As a starter in the 2024-25 season, Thompson is averaging 16.4 points, 9.7 rebounds, 4.8 assists, 1.6 steals, and 1.6 blocks per game. Standing 6-foot-7 with elite athleticism and defensive versatility, Thompson has effectively played at or guarded against every position this season.
The 22-year-old rising star is doing all that for a winning team, as well, with Houston (45-25) currently at No.
