All indications are that Klay Thompson will make a comeback in his home game against the Cavaliers on Jan. 10. It was his first NBA game since June 13, 2019. Thompson tore through the left front cruciate ligament during this game, which left him missing out on the 2020 season. When he recovered from injury, he injured his right Achilles tendon again, causing him to miss the game until now.
Before two serious injuries, Klay Thompson was a famous iron man in the NBA. Aside from his rookie season, Thompson has only missed games in one season, more than 10. Attendance exceeded 80 games in 3 seasons. Since entering the league, Thompson's three-point shooting rate has never been lower than 40 percent. Starting with the 2014-15 season, he was named an All-Star for five consecutive years.
Before the injury, Thompson was doing very well. Many fans believe that without injuries, the Warriors will win at least one more championship, and Thompson will definitely be selected as one of the 75 top stars in the NBA. Now that Thompson is about to return to the field, how much of his competitive status is? This has become the biggest concern of fans!
In response to this problem, Thompson's father, Michael Thompson, gave his own opinion. He said: "(Son comeback) I'm really nervous and the only hope now is that he can stay healthy. His shots are better than before he's injured because that's the only training he can do when he's injured. ”
Michael Thompson is not an idle man. He was a draft pick in 1978 and won the 1987 and 1988 NBA championships with the Lakers. His comments on Tang Shen still have high reference value. Warriors coach Kerr also expressed expectations for Klay. Kerr believes that after Klay's return, he will greatly reduce the defensive pressure on Curry. The Warriors' offense will be much easier!
