The Warriors will continue their five-game road trip against the New York Knicks today, and the question now is: Will Klay Thompson play in their next home game?
The Golden State Warriors will return to San Francisco on Dec. 20 to play at home against the Kings. Will Clay, who has been absent for more than two years, return in this game? Or a Dec. 23 game against the Memphis Grizzlies? Maybe fans will have to wait until after the Warriors' Christmas game in Phoenix.
In fact, Warriors general manager Bob Myers said the team hasn't even made a final decision. Like all fans, Miles was thrilled to see Thompson back on the field. At the same time, he is also calling on everyone to be patient.
"We didn't even decide internally on his comeback time," Miles said Tuesday morning on morning channel Morning Roast. "But the good news is that we've seen the light of day. It's like a tunnel, and Clay is about to walk through a long tunnel and sees the light of day. We're close enough – I can't wait to see him play again. ”
"As it got closer, I became more and more patient. It's my personal feeling because I know it's coming. ”
The Warriors' win-loss tie on Tuesday night came to 22-5. They did it all without Thompson, looking like title contenders again. He also averaged 17.8 points per game in his former rotation starting jordan pool in his third year of his career.
Even though their start was hot and Poole was improving a lot, Miles knew how much difference Thompson would make.
"I've watched his training sessions and it looks really good," Miles said. "I saw an increase in his endurance. From two weeks ago or three weeks ago to a few days ago, I saw him get better and stronger, I saw his desire to get back on the pitch and the effort he made for it. We need his return.
"We talk about the emotions and comforting people who are looking forward to Klay coming back, but if you want to talk about our team and what he means to our team, you see our normal heart – we hope Klay Thompson can fill that position that he's always had in our hearts. That's what he's always done for this team. ”
We still don't know exactly when he will play alongside Stephen Curry and other Warriors teammates again. However, we know that this is even faster in the near future.
"Fantastic, I really can't wait. It's really fast," Miles said.
