Warriors' Klay Thompson Wants to Play for Team USA in 2020 Tokyo Olympics If Healthy

Warriors star Klay Thompson wants in on 2020 Summer Olympic Games in Tokyo–if he's healthy. Thompson shared his verbal commitment to reporters before the kickoff event at his charity golf tournament.

“I would love to play [for] Team USA,” Thompson said. “That is the plan. I would love to be on the Olympic team.”

Thompson won't be able to embark on that endeavor unless his torn ACL is fully healed. The five-time NBA All-Star underwent successful surgery to repair the tear in July and is expected to miss nine to 10 months recovering from the injury.
