Steve Kerr says Klay Thompson looks 'great' as January return draws near
With all the craziness going on in the NBA the last couple of weeks, it's nice to hear some positive news about the future. Well, at least it's positive for Warriors fans.
The Dubs are eyeing a January return for All-Star Klay Thompson, who hasn't played since the 2019 NBA Finals due to multiple knee ailments. Thompson was spotted practicing solo at Chase Center on Wednesday and, apparently, got a pretty good workout in.
Following the practice, head coach Steve Kerr didn't jump the gun and say when Thompson would return but did offer up that the guard "looked great" during practices.
Thompson has logged time with the Dubs' G League affiliate in Santa Cruz ahead of his return and "played in three game-length scrimmages" ahead of Golden State's recent road trip on the East Coast, ESPN reported last week.
The Warriors are scheduled to host the Memphis Grizzlies on Thursday before flying to Phoenix for a rematch against the Suns on Christmas day.
