Klay Thompson’s return to health

Klay Thompson was projected to return during the spring. Whether that would’ve been a tad bit rushed to ensure that the Dubs made the playoffs or not, no one is quite certain.

But, what we can be thankful for is that he’ll be returning to full strength this coming season. One of the best shooters in NBA history, Thompson was a key part of the team making their fifth-consecutive Finals appearance.

With 30 points through three quarters in Game 6, he could’ve also been the reason they won their third-straight title. Sadly, after a dunk attempt gone wrong, Thompson was diagnosed with a torn ACL.

Already having gotten some shots up, Thompson’s recovery appears to be going well. Albeit he likely still has some more to rehab, Thompson will have all the time in the world to make sure he’s at 100%.

Thompson’s health will be a key reason for the Warriors’ hopeful dominance next season.
