Unfortunately, the plan didn’t work out and resulted in a move that ended up costing Klay the whole of the 2019/20 season. Not just that, the Warriors also failed to win the championship that year without their star point guard. An incorrect landing tore Thompson’s ACL, ultimately forcing him into rehab for a year.
The next year, on November 18th, 2020, Thompson was in the midst of a practice session when he tore his Achilles. So hard to imagine how dejected the 31-year old would have felt when that happened. Talking to the media about how the incident unfolded, Klay revealed how he got injured. It was Anthony Slater, who through his tweet explained how Thompson got injured.
“It happened on a two-dribble jump shot. A move I do 100 times a day.”

Although he will not be playing for the initial part of the season, sports reporter Kylen Mills has said that Klay will begin full contact training within the next month. So good news for Warriors’ fans, now that their star point guard looks ready to make a dramatic return.
