Unconsciously, Golden State Warriors Klay Thompson has been reimbursed for two consecutive seasons due to injury. The first was a torn cruciate ligament, and the second was a tendon problem, both of which are major injuries to basketball players that can destroy a player's career.
But Thompson was quietly recovering with the help of the Warriors, and the team was not in a hurry, sacrificing two years to wait for Thompson. As a result, the Warriors will be very cautious not to let Thompson rush back too much and not let him take the risk of injury again.
According to the plan, the Warriors arranged for Thompson to return in mid-to-late December this year, and Thompson would choose a home game. At the moment, the Warriors need to make five consecutive road trips, Thompson will not play, he has other tasks to do.
Previously, the Warriors had sent Thompson to their own "s" Santa Cruz Warriors in the NBA Development League to participate in training. In fact, in the NBA, it is not uncommon to delegate recovered stars to the development league, in order to provide more training opportunities for these players, rather than letting them play in the development league.
Curry had been sent off by the Warriors before, and that day he became the star of the Santa Cruz Warriors, except for training and signing photos. Today, the Warriors announced the second time to send Thompson to the development league, which looks quite miserable, but it is actually making final preparations for Thompson's comeback.
Curry is not in a hurry at all, he has played at the MVP level, teammates such as Wiggins and Jordan Pooler have grown rapidly, and the Warriors' record is also very good. Thompson's return is heartwarming, but both the Warriors and Curry are leaning toward a better plan.
