Cavs' Thompson able to practice despite suffering bruised shoulder in Game 6

Tristan Thompson was at practice on Saturday after bruising his shoulder in the Cleveland Cavaliers' Game 6 victory over the Chicago Bulls.

The Cavs center bruised his left shoulder during a hard fall on a circus alley-oop in Thursday night's game, but he got up and continued to play.

Thompson went on to finish the game with 13 points, 17 rebounds and two blocks in 40 minutes of action, including sinking all five shots from the charity stripe.

Coach David Blatt seemed in awe of Thompson's ability to brush himself off and continue on.

"That guy to me is rare," Blatt said, per Akron Beacon Journal's Marla Ridenour. "He doesn't get hurt easily. That was a bad fall. Not only did he get back up, he played through it. He took a pretty good hit on his shoulder. It speaks volumes of the kind of kid he is. He's fearless. He's going to keep going."

Although Thompson was in attendance during Saturday's practice, Kyrie Irving was held out to rest his sore left knee and right foot strain.
