BRYCE THOMPSON NEWS

Fully cleared Thompson (shoulder) has been fully cleared for basketball-related activities, according to Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports.

Impact Back in early-2024, Thompson suffered a torn labrum that eventually resulted in season-ending surgery. After more than half a year of physical recovery, he is finally healthy for Oklahoma State's basketball program, which has benefited from at least 10 points averaged by him for three straight seasons. In his case, scoring output is not expected to be the problem. It is scoring efficiency more than anything.

Undergoing labrum surgery Head coach Mike Boynton announced that Thompson will undergo surgery for a torn labrum and could miss the rest of the season, Marshall Scott of PistolsFiringBlog.com reports.

Impact Thompson tore his labrum during Tuesday's matchup against Kansas and will have surgery to repair it. Boynton said Thompson will miss significant time and could miss the remainder of the 2023-24 season. The senior guard was an impact player for the Cowboys this season, averaging 11.6 points per game through 18 contests.

Unlikely to play Friday Thompson is "probably doubtful" for Friday's game at the Legends Classic after suffering an apparent leg injury in Thursday's loss against St. Bonaventure, Jon Rothstein of CBS Spo...

Impact Thompson suffered an apparent left leg injury in the first half of Thursday's loss against the Bonnies and played just one minute in the second half before exiting the game for good. The 6-6 senior finished with seven points (2-6 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and two assists in 16 minutes. The extent of his injury is currently unknown, as we'll await a further update on his status from head coach Mike Boynton once an update is able to be given. John-Michael Wright is the leading candidate to re-enter the starting lineup with Thompson presumably out for Friday's action against the loser of the Notre Dame-Auburn game.

Starting on Thursday Thompson is listed in Oklahoma State's starting lineup for Thursday's matchup with St. Bonaventure.

Impact Thompson will get the start in place of senior guard John-Micahel Wright for Thursday's game against St. Bonaventure. Tonight's game will feature the third different starting unit for the Cowboys this season.

Scores 17 off the bench Thompson supplied 17 points (6-11 FG, 4-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), two rebounds and three assists across 21 minutes during Sunday's 85-70 victory over Sam Houston.

Impact Thompson took his move to the bench in stride on Sunday, shooting 80% from three. Thompson is averaging 19.5 points through two games and has already hit 10 from long range on 16 attempts. Whether starting or coming off the bench, Thompson will be a key contributor for the Cowboys this season.

Explodes in NIT win Thompson notched 22 points (8-16 FG, 6-11 3Pt, 0-1 FT), two assists and two steals across 35 minutes during Sunday's 71-60 win over Eastern Washington.

Impact Thompson scored more than 20 points for just the third time all season as the Cowboys continued their run through the NIT. The 6-foot-6 junior has been the team's best scorer all season, and his production only increased down the stretch of the season. Thompson averaged 13.7 points, 2.3 rebounds and 3.0 assists over the 10 games leading into the NIT, and he's now scored in double figures in each of Oklahoma State's first two games in the postseason tournament. Expect Thompson to continue carrying the load for the Cowboys' often spotty offense.

Scores 11 points Thompson ended Saturday's 73-68 loss to Kansas State with 11 points (5-10 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 0-2 FT), two rebounds and four assists across 39 minutes.

Impact Thompson now has more than 10 points across each of his last six games started. However, Thompson's latest point tally was his lowest across the six-start span, and he will look to conclude his junior year strong before tournament action begins next month.

Dressed in uniform Thompson (hamstring) is dressed ahead of Saturday's game against Kansas State, Derek Young of On3sports reports.

Impact After tweaking his hamstring in Monday's game against West Virginia, Thompson appears to be available for Saturday's clash. It is unclear if Thompson will be limited in any capacity. Thompson is tied with Kalib Boone as the teams leading scorers, averaging 11.8 points per game.

FEBRUARY 25, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Suffers hamstring injury Thompson (hamstring) exited Monday's matchup against West Virginia with a right hamstring injury, Dean Ruhl of Tulsa World reports.

Impact Thompson accumulated 14 points (5-13 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 3-3 FT), three rebounds and two assists before exiting Monday's game against the Mountaineers late in the second half. The 6-foot-6 junior has started in all 28 games this season, logging 11.8 points, 2.9 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 0.7 steals on 29.4 minutes per game. Oklahoma State will face off with Kansas State this Saturday, but Thompson's expected status for the contest is uncertain.

Oklahoma State visits the No. 11 Iowa State Cyclones after Bryce Thompson scored 21 points in the Cowboys' 71-68 win against the Texas Tech Red Raiders

FEBRUARY 10, 2023 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Second 20-point outing of season Thompson notched 21 points (9-16 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 0-2 FT), three rebounds, one assist and four steals across 32 minutes during Wednesday's 71-68 victory over Texas Tech.

Impact Thompson got it done on both ends of the court, as he logged a season high in steals while also posting his second-most points of any game in the 2022-23 campaign. The 6-foot-6 junior has averaged 10.9 field-goal attempts per game this season, though he's now logged 14, 6 and 16 shots over the past three games while making up for the absence of point guard Avery Anderson (wrist). With Asberry now out indefinitely after undergoing surgery Wednesday, Thompson ranks second among the Cowboys' healthy starters in points per game (11.2). Therefore, it's likely Thompson could see an increased role behind Oklahoma State's leading scorer Kalib Boone (12.0) moving forward.

Cleared to play Thompson (ankle) is in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against Texas.

Impact Thompson evidently felt strong enough to give it a go in warmups, and he won't be forced to miss any time after suffering an ankle injury Saturday. The junior is averaging 9.0 points, 2.8 rebounds and 1.3 assists over six January appearances.

JANUARY 24, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Going through warmups Thompson (ankle) was spotted taking part in pregame warmups ahead of Tuesday's game against Texas, Jacob Unruh of The Oklahoman reports.

Impact This is a positive sign for the Cowboys, though Thompson should still be considered questionable leading up to tipoff. He suffered an ankle injury during Saturday's contest against Iowa State.

JANUARY 24, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Suffers injured ankle Thompson suffered an ankle injury during Oklahoma State's 61-59 win Saturday versus Iowa State, according to Jacob Unruh of The Oklahoman.

Impact Thompson's ankle injury indicates why he failed to log more than 10 minutes Saturday. Thompson will have a questionable availability status before the Oklahoma State Cowboys play at No. 7 Texas on Tuesday. Also according to Jacob Unruh of The Oklahoman, their head coach Mike Boynton said he does not think Thompson's injury is major.

JANUARY 22, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Splashes seven three-pointers Thompson contributed 23 points (7-13 FG, 7-10 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one rebound and one assist over 29 minutes during Saturday's 69-67 loss to Kansas.

Impact Thompson was terrific from beyond the arc as he logged a new season high in points for the second time in three games. He also logged one more three-point attempt than John-Michael Wright, and the two have each averaged 5.1 three-point attempts per game over 13 contests. However, Thompson has been more efficient with a 40.9 percent conversion rate from beyond the arc. This effective shooting should continue to make him the team's top scorer as the Cowboys progress through conference play.
