Klay Thompson’s comeback is fast approaching, and it is on the side of the G-League, with the Santa Cruz Warriors, that the sniper makes his final preparations. No sooner had he arrived among the roster, the Splash Bro also stood out, astounding everyone …
An eternity. Not seen on an NBA floor since his cruel injury during the 2019 Finals two and a half years ago (!), Klay Thompson will soon make his comeback, probably around Christmas at most. To perfect the final adjustments, the three-time champion was sent to the side of the Santa Cruz Warriors with another long-term injured on the return, James Wiseman. The fans did not fail to ironize on this “Superteam” which forms in G-League.
According to coach Seth Cooper, Klay should not play any game on the side of the NBA’s little sister. The Warriors sent him there to perfect his scales, rehearse a few systems, and rediscover his feelings. So far, it’s been successful according to Cooper, who recounts an episode where Thompson stunned everyone:
Arrived at the Santa Cruz Warriors, Klay Thompson slams a crazy
Obviously, our guys are very happy to have him around them. It’s one of the 75 best days in NBA history, it’s not nothing. Yesterday, he got stuck in an exercise we were doing, and he planted his first 18 shots, successively.
The trigger is sharper than ever for Thompson, able to catch fire like hell anytime. His attitude is also flawless according to Cooper, and everything is going wonderfully:
All the exercises, defensive and offensive, he does them thoroughly. It helps our guys to see that, to see how good he is, how seriously he takes it all. The doctors allowed him to train without any restrictions, so all he did was 100%. We didn’t hold it back on anything. We let him do it and play hard. That’s what he did, and what he did very well. “
There are no images of Klay’s infamous heatstroke, but NBC Warriors still relayed footage of the Splash Bro in practice. And indeed, as Cooper says, it’s nice to see:

It is obviously the same Klay Thompson that we have always known that we will find on the NBA floors in a few weeks. And that is for our greatest pleasure!
