Coming back, even though Thompson went through some awkward 5-of-1 shooting in the opening, the familiar Thompson returned in the second quarter when Thompson finished the dunk.
Playing 20 minutes, Kerr did not have a bottom line like Nash, a minute is not more than a minute, Thompson shot 7 of 18, including 3 of 8 three-pointers, Thompson got 17 points, 3 rebounds and 1 assist, and his return also helped the Warriors easily defeat the Cavaliers who have recently gained momentum.
The 941 days of waiting is just waiting for fans, but these 941 days, the Warriors boss is not bad to pay Thompson, and the Warriors owner gave Thompson $73.34 million in salary for the two years of season reimbursement alone. So, the question also comes, Thompson is out for 941 days, how much compensation can the Warriors boss get from the insurance company? Well, please listen to me and tell me more about it.
NBA Insurance System
As we all know, in order to avoid injury season reimbursement for players with sky-high contracts, the team has no loss, NBA teams are required to force insurance for the team's top three players, but usually the team will buy insurance for most players, and the amount of insurance payment is 1.5% to 5% of the player's annual salary, the specific proportion is based on the player's injury history.
However, buying insurance does not mean that the player can be compensated for injuries, according to the relevant regulations, only after the player's absence reaches 41 games, this regulation is punished, and the insurance company only pays the player's salary for the number of games other than 41 games, and only pays 80% of the total price.
Knowing the criteria for payouts, it's not hard to calculate how much compensation the Warriors owner can get from the insurance company in recent years. In the past two years, Thompson has been reimbursed twice for the season, and according to the relevant rules, the Warriors owner can get $27.24 million in compensation. The number of games missed this season is likely to activate the compensation clause due to Thompson's comeback.
After 914 days of absence, the Warriors owner only received $27.24 million in compensation, which is a sky-high price for us, but for the Warriors owner, the salary alone is heavy.
However, the investment of the Warriors boss has also been greatly rewarded, in addition to Thompson's return to the Warriors to bring more impact on the championship, just The game of Thompson's comeback, the ticket price reached a maximum of $16,000, the ticket revenue of a game alone, the Warriors boss can earn more than $40 million, and this is not counting the other additional income brought by Thompson, so it seems that the Warriors boss is losing, but this business he is all earned.
