Fails to score in loss Theis closed Wednesday's 119-108 loss to the Heat with zero points (0-1 FG, 0-1 3Pt), three rebounds, one assist and two blocks over 18 minutes.
Impact Theis didn't trouble scorers, continuing to play a limited role off the bench behind impressive rookie, Yves Missi. Theis has scored double-digits just once this season, averaging a very modest 3.7 points and 3.7 rebounds in 14.7 minutes per game.

Morant's right shoulder is bothering him again after a hard collision ends his night in New Orleans

Ja Morant's right shoulder is bothering him again after the Grizzlies' star guard was knocked out of Memphis' 132-124 victory in New Orleans

Double-doubles Friday Theis provided 11 points (3-5 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 5-5 FT), 11 rebounds, six assists, one block and one steal in 21 minutes during Friday's 132-124 loss to the Grizzlies.
Impact Theis recorded his first double-double of the season, logging a few extra minutes after Yves Missi was forced to the locker room for a brief period of time. After starting the first five games of the season, Theis has seen his role reduce over the course of the season. Over the past month, he has averaged just 3.6 points and 4.2 rebounds in 14.5 minutes per game. Based on what we have seen recently, this performance should be viewed as nothing more than an outlier.

Poor season continues Theis totaled three points (1-2 FG, 1-2 3Pt), four rebounds and one steal across 13 minutes during Monday's 124-112 loss to the Hawks.
Impact Theis continues to be a non-factor, scoring single digits in every game this season. After starting the first five games, his role has shifted to that of a backup. In 17 games he is averaging just 3.5 points and 3.4 rebounds in 14.3 minutes per game. It is clear to see that Theis simply isn't the player he once was. At this point, he is likely being used out of necessity only.
DECEMBER 3, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Not starting Wednesday Theis is not in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Raptors, Will Guillory of The Athletic reports.
Impact Theis will head back to the bench after two straight starts, as Yves Missi will recover his role in the starting lineup. Theis is averaging a mere 3.3 points and 2.8 rebounds per game when coming off the bench this season, so he shouldn't have a lot of fantasy appeal in most formats.
NOVEMBER 28, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Sticking in starting lineup Theis will start Monday's game against the Pacers.
Impact Yves Missi (shoulder) has been cleared to play after missing the last game, but Theis will stick in the starting lineup for a second straight game. On Friday, Theis posted three points, five rebounds, two assists and three blocks in 18 minutes during a loss to Golden State.
