On January 1, Beijing time, the Warriors ushered in the best news, and the team official posted the first joint training of the team's home backcourt Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson on social media. Due to the postponement of the Warriors' game against the Nuggets, this also gave Thompson the opportunity to appear on the training ground at the same time as Curry for the first time since losing to the Raptors in the 2019 Finals:
"Man, it's great," Klay Thompson said of being on the floor again with Curry, "I didn't feel good shooting, I wasn't physically fit, but after five minutes, my feelings were gone. I didn't get much of a chance to play with these guys, which was fun and made me realize how special this group is. ”
Not only that, but Klay Thompson also revealed that he is indeed very close to a comeback. In an interview with American media Anthony Slater Thompson said:
"(Comeback) is very close and I'm looking forward to getting back on the pitch as soon as possible."
Regarding the fact that Klay Thompson is about to return, Warriors coach Steve Kerr revealed Thompson's role in the team after his return in an interview:
"Clay will be a starter when he comes back," Kerr said, "and I'm not going to do anything to put him on the bench or anything else." ”
Even though Klay Thompson hasn't played any games for the Warriors so far this season, the Warriors still have the best performance in the league, so we can fully expect that when Klay Thompson returns, the Warriors will become a better competitive team.
