Klay Thompson: Why was out| Is playing tomorrow| Boat
Why was out:
One of the NBA’s best teams is getting a major reinforcement.
For the first time since June 13, 2019, Klay Thompson is preparing to play an NBA game.
The Golden State Warriors have targeted Sunday, January 9, as a possible return date for Thompson. The five-time All-Star has missed two consecutive seasons after tearing his ACL in Game 6 of the 2019 Finals and then tearing his Achilles while rehabbing in November of 2020.
Is playing tomorrow:
Expectations should be tempered, of course. Few players have ever successfully returned to form after tearing their Achilles; Kevin Durant is a significant outlier. Fewer have ever had such devastating injuries back to back.
Even if Thompson can reach his pre-injury form, it will surely take him a little while to get used to playing at an NBA level again after nearly three years off.
Boat:
During his two seasons away from the court, Klay Thompson took his talent to the seas.
He started out in a kayak, but now Thompson is the proud owner of an impressive 37-foot boat that he’s often seen cruising around the bay in.
Usually on Instagram Live while boating, Thompson’s adventures on the water have been nothing short of entertaining. Thompson has commuted to the Warriors’ new waterfront Chase Center arena via the “Nordic Knife.” While away from the court for back-to-back seasons after suffering knee and Achilles injuries, Klay’s had some extra time on his hands. What better way to relax after two years of strenuous rehab than sailing around such a scenic bay?
