What happened: Thompson scored 10 points in the opening quarter of preseason action, getting downhill to the rim. The production came early in the first on the NBA TV broadcast.

Why it matters: Early preseason touches offer a first check on his downhill role entering the 2026-27 season. He scored 12 in an earlier preseason outing during the same tune-up slate.

By the numbers: 10 PTS in Q1, all on rim attacks.

What to watch: Houston continues its preseason schedule ahead of the 2026-27 opener.
