According to ESPN reporter Adrian Warnaroski, the Warriors are optimistic that shooting guard Klay Thompson will return against the Cavaliers on January 10, Beijing time. The report says the Warriors will make the final decision after the next few games:
If Thompson can make his comeback as scheduled, it will also be his debut this season, and Klay Thompson has been unable to play any game for the Warriors in the past two seasons due to injury problems. Thompson is the league's most efficient shooter when he's fit, and his consistency on the defensive end will be key to the Warriors' assault on the championship.
Jazz coach Snyder, on the other hand, spoke highly of the Warriors' interior core Draymond Green, who said Green should be included in the regular season MVP candidates. In the Warriors' shooting training on January 4, Beijing time, Green happily responded to Snyder's comments and agreed with it:
"I agree with him, I think it's someone who really watched the game and understood the ball, and I contributed to the win."
There is no doubt that Green is indeed a player who has played an important role in the Warriors' victory, but judging by the data performance, Green is unlikely to have a chance to be elected as the MVP of the regular season.
Finally, the Warriors announced that the team has officially signed a two-way contract with guard Quindari Weatherspoon:
Quindari Weatherspoon signed a short 10-day contract with the Warriors at the end of December, a contract signed by the Warriors through a difficult exception, and in the Christmas battle against the Suns for the Warriors, Quindari Weatherspoon played 14 minutes to have 6 points, 1 rebound, 1 steal and 1 block.
