Tyrus Thomas missed Thursday's practice due to an eye infection, but is expected to play Friday.
Thomas is just having an issue with his contact lens. The bigger concern for him is the impending returns of Corey Maggette and D.J. Augustin. With Reggie Williams playing well, Thomas' starting small forward job is in real jeopardy. He's shooting just 35.2 percent in his 17 starts this season.
