When will the Warriors release the “monster” as James Wiseman calls it? The return date of Klay Thompson, after his two big injuries (cruciate ligament of the knee, then rupture of the Achilles tendon), it is one of the enigmas which will agitate the beginning of next season, not only of Golden State but also of the league.
The prospect of seeing the “Splash Brothers” on the floors, two years after their last match together during the 2019 Finals, makes everyone salivate. Except that Bob Myers remains cautious.
Absent for the resumption
“We will know a little more when we arrive at the training camp”, already announces the GM of the franchise to NBC Sports. “There’s a difference between doing a five-on-five, which he’ll do by then, and playing an NBA game. We will then have to know when it will be the right time. It is difficult to assess, because it depends on how he crosses the obstacles in his rehabilitation. “
A rehabilitation that was sometimes difficult to live with since the triple champion had already gone through this long process in 2019/20, before injuring himself again in November 2020. Eleven months after his Achilles tendon rupture and more than two years later his last match, will he be able to be held at the resumption, in four months?
“I think I said it officially, I don’t think he will be there for the first game of the season in October”, thus warns Bob Myers. “Thanksgiving? Christmas ? I think most likely it’s still December. “
