On January 5, Beijing time, the Golden State Warriors officially updated their social media and posted a group of training photos of Warriors players Klay Thompson and Andrew Wiggins.
One of the Splash Brothers, Klay Thompson, has attracted much attention, as the core player of the team, Thompson has missed more than two seasons due to injury, and the last time he played was in 2019.
But the good news is that Thompson will usher in a comeback in the near future, according to well-known media reports, a number of sources have revealed. Thompson is likely to make a comeback against the Cavaliers next Monday, Beijing time, and the team will make the final decision after completing the previous two consecutive away games.
As soon as this news came out, many Warriors fans could be said to be cheering. Although the Warriors have performed well this season without Thompson, they are currently in the league with 29 wins and 7 losses. But without Thompson, the team's game always felt like something was missing.
One of the greatest shooters in NBA history, Thompson averaged 21.5 points, 3.8 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 1.1 steals in the season before his injury. He shot 46.7 percent from the field and 40.2 percent from three-point range.
At the same time, some fans recently found that the price of tickets for the match where Clay was expected to return had increased significantly compared to previous games. Before the previous Warriors game against the Heat, someone posted a photo of Thompson leaving with his hands held high before the game. In the photo, Thompson sticks out 6 fingers, as if to imply that he has six days to return.
Thompson's steady three-point shooting ability and defense before the injury was one of the best in the league, even if he hadn't officially played in a long time, but as long as he came back, he could bring great help to the Warriors.
