Thompson came back to play in Game 1 and he appears to have had no problems getting into the lineup in Game 2 of the NBA Finals.
Klay Thompson said he was going to play in Game 2, and it seems like the extra day off between games was a productive one for the Warriors sharpshooter.
Thompson was injured in the first half on an awkward tangle-up with J. R. Smith, and he was diagnosed with a high ankle sprain and “significant bruising.” He did, however, return to the floor and make some big shots down the stretch to help the Warriors pull out the overtime win.
Thompson told reporters on Saturday that he intended to take the floor for Golden State in Game 2, and he was, indeed, in the lineup for the Dubs on Sunday night. Yahoo’s Shams Charania reported before the game that he would play despite the injury.
