“ATTENTION”: Klay Thompson’s father is confident of his son’s return in the 2021 NBA season

Golden State Warriors star Klay Thompson suffered an anterior cruciate ligament tear in Game 6 of the NBA Finals in the 2018-19 Finals. He missed the 2019-20 season and was on his way back to being in top form.

He suffered another long-term injury in the form of a torn Achilles tendon last week. This injury will keep him out of the game for another full season.

Klay Thompson’s father Mychal Thompson, who is a former NBA star, was optimistic that his son will surely return in the 2021-2022 NBA season and this injury is just a test.

Mychal said, “He will return on 21-22. Watch out. We have all been through trials in this life. Some bigger than others. This is just another. “

The Warriors were hoping to return this season. This was supposed to be the return of the Big 3. But it seems like it wasn’t meant to be.

How is Klay the centerpiece of the Warriors?

Klay Thompson may not be the team’s biggest star, but his importance to the Warriors can’t be ignored. The value he brings to the Warriors team is unmatched and simply cannot be replaced.

Thompson is an excellent two-way point guard in the NBA. Given the Warriors’ style of play, a player like Klay plays a pivotal role. He is certainly a great ball shooter. In addition, his defensive abilities are essential for the team.

Klay’s defense plays a critical role in hiding the holes in Steph Curry’s game. Klay has the ability to protect the other team’s shooters, making his offense difficult.

Given how dangerous he is from the 3-point line, he stretches his opponents, creating space for other players to move to better positions. He is not just a shooter; It’s much more than that.

Thompson is also a key player. No one can forget the nine triples he hit in Game 6 of life or death against the Houston Rockets in the 2018 Playoffs.

A player like Klay cannot be replaced on the team. For now, the Warriors can remain competitive and add a few players to do so. Hopefully Thompson will return and be better than ever when he returns.
