On December 17, Beijing time, according to US media reports, as to why Klay Thompson would not come back before Christmas, Golden State Warriors star Drummond Green gave an explanation, and said that it was related to Thompson's mental state.
Green said: "Thompson may not be ready right now, even if he's in good physical condition, but what about mental status? Probably not ready."
"Neither we nor the team want him to feel that anxiety and stress and I know when people act like , 'Oh my God, he's coming back.' Clay, are you going back? Then this stress will arise, and this anxiety will accumulate on you day by day. ”
"In fact, I'm not going to let my hopes go down, I hope you won't either, I'm actually like you, I know he's going to come back."
"Before Christmas, the coverage I know is the same as it is now, so I'm not in a hurry, I'll try to stay focused and let him get back to work at his own pace."
It is worth mentioning that because Thompson himself is not in a hurry to make a comeback, he believes that he not only needs to adjust his physical state, but also his mental state must be adjusted to the level of the game, so for such a situation, the team has also given support and understanding, at that time, Thompson's comeback date will be postponed, and the earliest will be on December 28.
