Golden State Warriors star guard Klay Thompson has suffered a season-ending tear to his right Achilles tendon.
The injury occurred during a workout Wednesday in Southern California, the team announced. He had an MRI on Thursday morning.
Based on the type of tear, Thompson has been told to expect that he will make a full recovery, a source told ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.
Thompson's agent, Greg Lawrence, told ESPN that his client is expected to be fully recovered for the start of the 2021-22 season.
Thompson was playing with several NBA players in Los Angeles and felt pain in the calf area when he landed on his leg, sources told ESPN's Ramona Shelburne.
