Thompson will shift to the bench for Monday's game against the Pacers, Chris Haynes of the Plain Dealer reports.

Analysis:

In an apparent attempt to reinvigorate Timofey Mozgov, coach Tyronn Lue will move him into the starting five, replacing Thompson, who's started 28 games this season. Both players' roles figure to remain fairly constant, however, especially considering Thompson's ability to stick with versatile Pacers big man Myles Turner.
