On January 3, Beijing time, the 2021-22 NBA regular season is in full swing. In recent times, Warriors star Thompson has been the focus of media and fans. Thompson has been out of the game for more than two years since he was injured in the 2019 Finals, and he will make a comeback in the near future.
Earlier today, Warriors reporter Anthony Slater revealed specific information about Thompson's return. He first confirmed the news that Thompson will return at home, and then said: "On January 4, the Warriors played at home to the Heat, and the possibility of Thompson's comeback is extremely unlikely. The Warriors will play the Lone Rangers and Pelicans on the road, and the Warriors' home game against the Cavaliers on Jan. 10 is one of the key points where Thompson may return! ”
In an interview, Thompson also talked about his situation, saying: "After the comeback, the planned playing time is almost 18 minutes, because our team depth is very good, I don't have to take on too much responsibility after returning. We have both depth and talent in our squad and I will find ways to make the game easier, which is what I appreciate. ”
Thompson then talked about his shots, saying, "My shots feel good, I never worry about shooting. After a long absence, the most difficult part is finding the rhythm of the game, the timing and the state of the body. I want to give myself and our training team a big thumbs up. In the process, you wonder if you're still the player you were, but I feel like when I come back, I'm still myself, and that feels good. ”
According to previous reports, Warriors coach Kerr personally admitted that when Thompson returns, he will directly serve as the starter, without having to start from the bench, perhaps this also shows that Thompson's recovery is indeed very good.
