With sheer joy, Klay Thompson virtually danced. One day last week, he successfully completed two circles by dribbling through his legs six times. He then triumphantly raised his right hand high in the air to thank his shouting followers.
Thompson is finally making a comeback to basketball.
Following two horrific injuries, Stephen Curry’s Splash Brother has been medically cleared to play in an NBA game for the first time in over two and a half years on Sunday against Cleveland.
As he always does, the Golden State player officially announced everything on Saturday with a very artistic post on Instagram. With a clip from the film Space Jam and Murray’s comment, “Perhaps I could be of some assistance,” Thompson captioned his image, “Bill Murray is my spirit animal.”The Warriors officially announced shortly afterward that Thompson will be available to play against the Cavaliers.
When asked about Thompson’s status after practice on Saturday, coach Steve Kerr said, “It’s not my announcement or decision to make.” In addition, he told the journalists to check their phones and thanked them for putting up with his “charade.”
