A total gut punch for Thompson and the Warriors
Klay Thompson and the Golden State Warriors have gotten the worst possible news.
According to multiple reports, Thompson suffered a torn Achilles and will miss the upcoming NBA season. ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski was the first to report the news Thursday.
Thompson sustained the injury during a workout Wednesday night.
The 30-year-old also missed all of this past season with a torn left ACL, which he suffered in the Warriors’ Game 6 loss to the Toronto Raptors in the 2019 NBA Finals.
Thompson is one of the NBA’s top sharpshooters, and his return was sure to make the Warriors a playoff contender once again.
Now, he’s starting from square one.
