NBC SportsAmen Thompson had 11 points (5-of-6 FGs), two rebounds and two assists against Team G League in the Rising Stars Challenge on Friday.

Thompson led Team M in scoring with 11 points on six attempts from the field. The 22-year-old point guard also had three turnovers in 11 minutes and was -4 in the one-point upset loss. Thompson has asserted himself as a better scorer recently with at least 16 points in four of his last six games. He's so good in the other categories that he's a high floor player with lots of upside when his shot is falling.

Eason and Steven Adams (ankle) have been ruled out for Thursday's matchup with the Warriors.
