Beijing time on January 3, the NBA regular season continues to unfold, the Warriors will sit at home to meet the Heat next game, fans pay more attention to Thompson, his probability of returning in this game is very small, and the game against the Cavaliers on January 10 is likely to usher in a comeback. In addition to Thompson, the Warriors also officially announced that they had reached an operation of one in and one out, and Dream Green also officially lifted the ban and returned.
The Warriors officially announced that the team cut point guard Jeff Dowding, who was on a two-way contract, and then signed guard Witherspoon (above) with this vacated two-way contract.
Dowding, a 2020 draft pick, has played four regular-season games for the Warriors this season, averaging 1.5 points and 1.8 rebounds per game. Witherspoon previously signed a 10-day contract with the Warriors, played 1 game, played 14 minutes, shot 3-of-3, and had 6 points, 1 rebound, 1 steal and 1 block. This time one in and one out, the Warriors are also simply adjusting the two-way contract, and when the team lineup is complete, Witherspoon should mostly appear in the development league.
Draymond Green has lifted the health and safety agreement and will be able to return to the team. The Warriors will play at home against the Heat in the next game, and Green will also be able to play. Green has missed the past two games due to triggering a health-safety agreement, including one loss to the Nuggets, and one game that was postponed, and yesterday he beat the Jazz to continue to be in the league's first place. Green is still very important to the team, averaging 8.4 points, 7.9 rebounds and 7.5 assists per game this season.
After Green's return, Thompson has also entered the countdown to his comeback, and he has recently practiced with the team, which is also his first participation since his injury. According to team reporter Anthony Slater, Thompson's game against the Heat tomorrow has a very small probability of coming back; the Warriors' home game against the Cavaliers on January 10 is one of the time points when Klay may return. The Warriors then officially confirmed that Thompson would be absent for tomorrow's game.
Previously, the Warriors planned to let Thompson come back in the home game, which can allow more Warriors fans to give him encouragement, and it is basically certain that he will return in the game against the Cavaliers on the 10th. After all, after playing the Cavaliers, the Warriors have to start a wave of 4 consecutive journeys, and it will be too long to wait.
When Thompson returns, the Warriors team will become more organized, and the team can also sprint at full strength. The Splash Brothers will be contracted again, and Curry is also very excited, "We talked for a while, it's exciting, it's not for anything else, it's just about being able to maybe he's back on the basketball court, which is exactly what we're looking forward to." ”
For Thompson's return, the Warriors are looking forward to the whole team, this atmosphere is still very good, I believe the whole team will help him integrate into the game as soon as possible.
