Before Thursday’s home game before the Denver Nuggets, Golden State Warriors‘ guard Klay Thompson was seen in full uniform shooting on court pregame.
Though it is a small step in the rehabilitation process, voices around the league have been theorizing a return this season could be possible.
At about the midway point of the regular season, things have not panned out for the Warriors, to say the least. Standing as one of two teams without double-digit wins, this year has been unfamiliar after their near-five-year run of dominance.
Injuries have played a significant component in this, as Klay Thompson has not checked into a game since June in Game 6 of the NBA Finals, and Stephen Curry has missed most of this season with a broken hand.
