80 points:

Back in December of 2016, Golden State Warriors sharp-shooting guard Klay Thompson played in a game as if the basketball was on fire. Thompson certainly was on fire, scoring 60 points in a 142-106 victory over the Indiana Pacers. Imagine if this had been a close game.

As impressive as the 60 points were, Thompson did all that scoring while dribbling the ball just 11 times. Although Thompson managed the 60 points, he was on pace for a much bigger game, but Warriors coach Steve Kerr took him out at the end of the third quarter because the game was out of hand. He played just 29 minutes.

77 jersey:

After Thompson was left off the 76-man NBA 75th anniversary team, some of his teammates gifted him a No. 77 jersey, per ESPN. Draymond Green posted a video on his Instagram story of Thompson wearing the jersey in Golden State’s weight room, and another of the jersey hanging in his locker.

Thompson had been upset about the snub, posting on Instagram earlier in the week that he was “still pissed about this stupid ass list” and “sick of the disrespect.”

“You have to humor him with everything,” Warriors coach Steve Kerr told reporters, per ESPN. “His teammates obviously got that done to have a laugh with him. But I think all these guys, they’re so competitive by nature, they wouldn’t have made it this far if they weren’t really competitive.

Is back 2022:

That was the last time we saw Klay Thompson in an NBA game as the Golden State Warriors star limped off the floor in Game 6 of the NBA Finals.

After missing an entire season and working his way back from the injury, he suffered another injury setback, tearing his right Achilles in an off-season workout, missing two full seasons.
