Thornton was held out of practice Thursday with a sprained thumb, Candace Buckner of the Washington Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Thornton jammed his finger during a previous practice and is now dealing with some lingering pain, so the Wizards will hold him out to avoid any further damage. Considering it's only a minor sprain, it likely won't cost him much time, although his status for the Wizards' preseason opener on Oct. 4 remains questionable. He should be considered day-to-day for the time being.
