Thompson (calf) will return to the lineup Tuesday against the Hawks, the Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

EDGE Analysis

As anticipated, Thompson will will be back after missing more than a month with a calf injury. Coach Ty Lue said earlier in the week that Thompson will be used off the bench -- at least initially -- as the Cavs continue to go forward with a small-ball lineup featuring Kevin Love at center and Jae Crowder at power forward. Even so, Thompson should hold down a consistent role off the bench going forward.
