Thompson's status unclear until Warriors are back together

Golden State Warriors expect to have a better idea about how Klay Thompson’s recovery from reconstructive left knee surgery is going once team can finally reconvene after long separation caused by coronavirus pandemic.

For w, general manr Bob Myers is encourd Thompson has experienced setbacks during extensive rehabilitation process.

“I think we’ve got to take a look at him when we see him," Myers said Monday on a conference call. “re’s different versions of 100% — 100% for you or I when we walk around street is t 100% of an NBA basketball player playing basketball. So until we kind of test him and see him and he’s starting one-on-one and n two-on-two — and obviously pandemic has t allowed him that opportunity to do those type of things.”

Thompson tore ACL in his left knee on June 13 during Game 6 of NBA Finals against Toronto Raptors and had surgery July 2. He was reevaluated over All-Star break and team determined around that time that Stephen Curry’s Splash Bror wouldn't play at all this season without team being in mix for playoffs following five straight trips to NBA Finals.

Warriors finished 15-50 for NBA's worst record with Thompson out and with Curry nursing a broken left hand for most of season. Two-time NBA Finals MVP Kevin Durant departed in free ncy to join Brooklyn Nets.

As er as everyone is to see Thompson back to his dominant All-Star self, that will come in due time.

“re’s rush, clearly. As far as I’ve heard he’s recovering fine, re hasn’t been a setback, but one thing that’s been a little bit difficult in last couple months is our ability to oversee those things as much as you might rmally,” Myers said. “So I imagine at some point when we collectively get toger I can also answer that better.”

“I think what people really want to kw is has he been playing and what's he looks like and that's really answer to 100% and we won't kw that until we kind of reach that point in time.”
