Thompson and Marshall each played in Dallas’ last game against the Charlotte Hornets on Monday, with Thompson even taking the final shot. How he injured his ankle is not known at this time.

Quentin Grimes will be active after missing Monday’s game with back spasms. He joins Kyrie Irving, Spencer Dinwiddie, PJ Washington, Maxi Kleber, Daniel Gafford, Olivier-Maxence Prosper and Markieff Morris as the primary players active in this game. Two-way players Kessler Edwards, Brandon Williams and Jazian Gortman are also available.

Minnesota is only missing Donte DiVincenzo and Terrence Shannon Jr. for Wednesday’s game, which will tip sometime around 6:30 p.m. CST.
