Beijing time on January 9 news, Klay Thompson on social media updates his upcoming comeback in the Warriors home game against the Cavaliers:
Next, the Warriors' official Twitter also updated the news of Klay Thompson's comeback:
The last time Klay Thompson played for the Warriors was during the 2019 Finals, and Thompson, who suffered from ACL and Achilles tendon injuries, has been in recovery. Considering the Warriors' excellent performances in recent times, they will undoubtedly have better competitiveness after the return of Klay Thompson.
On the other hand, Warriors coach Steve Kerr said some time ago that Klay Thompson would be able to enter the starting lineup after his return, and when talking about Klay Thompson's playing time and role arrangement after his return, Kerr responded:
'He'll take on less responsibility, less playing time and as he gets more comfortable, we'll try to give him more playing time.
Usually the head coach doesn't let a player who has returned from a serious injury suddenly get a lot of playing time, but Kerr still trusts Thompson to perform in the starting lineup.
Finally, it should be mentioned that the injury situation of former star James Wiseman has also been updated. According to head coach Steve Cole, Wiseman is not currently in the team melee, but he has also participated in most of the team's training, and Kerr said Wiseman is "moving in that direction":
Wiseman, 20, has not played in a game for nearly nine months, but for the Warriors, handling Wiseman's injuries sparingly is the most important thing for the team to do.
