Klay Thompson stats tonight: How did 4x NBA champion fare against Kevin Durant, Suns in marquee matchup? (Dec. 27)

Klay Thompson had a quiet first half despite the Dallas Mavericks' solid 55-39 lead over the Phoenix Suns at Footprint Center on Friday. The four-time NBA champion has just two points, four rebounds, four assists, and a block in just over 15 minutes of action.

Thompson comes into focus with Luka Doncic's calf injury, which will be sidelining him for a month, per reports. The veteran forward has had a mixed run in his maiden season in Dallas. He went 1-of-2 from the field on Friday, and at the time of writing was yet to drain a three after two attempts from beyond the arc.

Kyrie Irving led the Mavs with 15 points and three assists, while center Daniel Gafford had 10 points. Kevin Durant led the Suns with 13 points. Much depends on Klay Thompson to see if he can make more of an impact in the second half.
