Commenting on Thompson's plans to play today, Warriors coach Kerr said: "Half an hour ago, when talking about getting Thompson into the game at the coaching meeting, everyone thought it was magical. We've waited so long and now we're finally waiting for him to come back, which feels weird, but great. I won't ask anything of him today, and I'm sure he'll adjust it himself. ”
