Myers expressed enthusiasm about Thompson’s return over the weekend during a chat with reporters on Warriors vs. Los Angeles Lakers game.

 “I think there’s a chance,” said Myers when asked if Thompson might play this season. “We’re going to have an update probably around All-Star break. But like Steph, if they’re healthy and they’re cleared, they’ll play. But if they’re not, obviously we’re not going to play them.”

The Warriors’ are also without two-times MVP guard Stephen Curry, who had to undergo surgery to repair hand fracture in early November. Curry was initially projected to be out for three months, but he is still to return to action.

“They both love basketball. Klay has had the hardest time being away from it. It’s like he’s thirsty and can’t drink water,” Myers added. “And Steph as well. But Steph is closer than Klay. You can ask him yourself. But it feels like Klay hasn’t played in a long, long time. So it’ll be exciting when we got all those guys back.”

Klay Thompson tore his ACL in the third quarter of deciding Game 6 in NBA Finals against Toronto Raptors. Warriors ended up losing that game and failing to defend their NBA championship title from the previous season.

Thompson finished the 2018/19 regular season averaging 21.5 points, 3.8 rebounds, and 2.4 assists.

This wasn’t the only bad news that the Dubs received on a dark night for the team, however.

Klay Thompson was forced to leave the court in the third quarter of the game, and it turns out that the injury that forced him off was a torn ACL. He suffered the injury as he landed awkwardly after a foul on a layup attempt with 2:22 left in the quarter.

Miraculously, as Thompson limped to Golden State’s locker room, he turned around and returned to the court to shoot two free throws. This is due to a rule that doesn’t allow players to continue in the game if another player replaces them to shoot free throws. Thompson obviously was unaware of the severity of his injury at the time.

Thompson buried both free throws and then was immediately subbed out of the game, missing the final 14 minutes of a 114-110 Raptors victory.

His torn ACL means that he will probably that the shooting guard, who could opt to become a free agent this offseason, will miss the majority of the 2019-20 season while recovering and rehabbing his injury.
