On January 10, Beijing time, after a long wait of 914 days, the Warriors' 3-crown giant Thompson finally ushered in his official comeback debut. Thompson reached a milestone in the comeback game, successfully reaching the career regular season 12,000 points milestone, becoming the 263rd player in NBA history to achieve such a feat, and the third person in the 2011 draft, behind the same No. 9 pick Walker and Irving.
As the No. 11 pick in the first round of 2011, Thompson entered the 11th year of his career, but due to the impact of injury factors, Thompson missed the past two seasons, and the first 38 games of the season were also missed, which naturally greatly affected Thompson's personal data accumulation, and was also one of the important factors for the Warriors to miss the playoffs in the past two seasons.
Now Thompson has made a comeback after more than two years, making his comeback debut at the Chase Center, the Warriors' new home. Before the game against the Cavaliers, Thompson had already scored 11,195 points in his career, and he was just five points away from reaching a milestone statistic.
Thompson has become the focus of attention in the comeback battle, and as Thompson re-shows his projection skills, he hit a layup on his first shot and has now scored at least five points in the game. Thompson officially reached the career regular season 12,000-point milestone, becoming the 263rd player in NBA history to break 12,000 points, while he was ranked first by another retired marksman, Redick, with 12,208 points.
Thompson's absence of two and a half seasons of games affected his career total scoring stats, but Thompson remained the third player to reach the 12,000-point milestone in the 2011 draft, second only to two other defender stars: Walker with 14,309 points in 2011's No. 9 show and Irving's 13,315 points in 2011.
