BOSTON -- Cavs center Tristan Thompson did not fly with the Cavs to Boston Tuesday night and his status for tonight's showdown with the Celtics is up in the air because of an injured right thumb.

Thompson underwent an MRI his morning and the Cavs are awaiting the results. An X-ray taken last night was negative, according to ESPN. He was injured battling for a rebound with Orlando's Nikola Vucevic Tuesday but stayed in the game.

If Thompson doesn't play, his franchise-record streak of 447 consecutive games played would come to an end. It's the longest active streak in the NBA.

The Cavs recalled Larry Sanders from the D-League, though it is far from certain they would use him as Thompson's replacement.
