Klay Thompson makes season debut vs. Cavaliers
Klay Thompson announced Saturday afternoon he will return from a 941-day absence when the Golden State Warriors host the Cleveland Cavaliers on Sunday night. Nearly 31 months after tearing the ACL in his left knee in Game 6 of the 2019 NBA Finals against the Toronto Raptors, and almost 14 months after suffering a ruptured right Achilles in the lead-up to the 2020-21 season, Thompson has been cleared to rejoin a team that has started this campaign 29-9 without him. Moments after Saturday’s practice ended and Golden State coach Steve Kerr told the media, “It’s not my announcement or decision to make,” the Warriors tweeted out a statement from Thompson titled “The Wait Is Over.”
