For the Golden State Warriors, this season is full of good news. After two years of lying down, players such as Jordan Poole and Wiggins have adapted completely to the team system and become the Warriors' second and third scorers. Glamond Green and Curry stayed healthy and resumed their personal performances from the championship-winning season.
As a result, the Warriors' record this season has improved by leaps and bounds, not only occupying the top spot in the Western Division, but also being the best in the league. But for the Warriors, their best news is that Klay Thompson is coming back. Two major injuries in two years, as well as injuries to the Cruciate ligament and Achilles tendon in the knee, are devastating for athletes.
However, Thompson not only did not give up, but also got a huge contract extension for the Warriors, and then got a full chance to recover. Thompson is not in a hurry to make a comeback, and the Warriors do not urge him at all, but hope that he will fully recover and not be injured again.
In fact, in last year's offseason, Thompson was basically cured and could participate in a certain amount of training, but the Warriors were very cautious, delaying Thompson's comeback time again and again, and arranging for him to go to the Santa Cruz Warriors, a subordinate team of the NBA Development League, to participate in training.
Recently, Thompson has shown a strong competitive form in team training, shooting 24 consecutive three-pointers in the bottom corner. The Warriors are expected to see Thompson comeback in a Jan. 10 game against the Cleveland Cavaliers.
Thompson may have some shadows at this stage, and may be more careful when doing technical movements in the game, but his projection feels very good, standing in the bottom corner is a very big threat. The Warriors want this kind of deterrent, which is the biggest significance of Thompson's comeback.
