Unconsciously, it has been more than two years since Klay Thompson temporarily left the NBA, and during this time, the Golden State Warriors have experienced ups and downs. Thompson's absence for so long was largely due to two serious injuries, first with a problem with his cruciate ligament in his knee and then an Achilles tendon injury that blocked his comeback last year.
The Warriors have suffered painfully during this time, and they have also encountered a difficult period in which Curry is reimbursed for an injury season and waits for young players to grow up. After several twists and turns, and even a small rebuild, the Warriors can finally be said to have regained a strong appearance this season.
So far this season, the Warriors have had a number of players who have performed well, and Jordan Poole is their biggest gain. Curry re-played at the MVP level, with the entire team far ahead in the league. As planned, Thompson will also make a comeback before Christmas this year, and he has twice been sent by the Warriors to the NBA Development League for training.
The Warriors are on their own five-game streak, and they're headed for the final game against the Boston Celtics. Thompson is expected to make a comeback in the next home game against the Sacramento Kings, but things have changed.
According to US media reports, the Warriors have modified Thompson's comeback plan, which may not play until Christmas arrives. The specific reason for this change is not yet known, but the Warriors must have given such an operation plan out of caution.
Now, Curry can only continue to fight with his teammates and wait for Thompson to return. Curry recently broke Ray Allen's record as the player with the most regular-season three-point shots in NBA history, and he has enough ability to lead the Warriors through that time.
