What comes next for the Warriors in aftermath of Klay Thompson’s torn Achilles
New York TimesKlay Thompson missed his age 29 season because of a torn ACL. Now there’s this — Thompson’s Achilles tear during a pickup game on the morning of an NBA Draft that, because they were able to select James Wiseman second overall, was supposed to be their unofficial welcome back into the conversation of the elite teams. Tim Kawakami’s thoughts: It’s hard to imagine Thompson coming back from at least two seasons off at any level close to what he was in Game 6 in the 2019 Finals, which was playing the best basketball of his life. Tim Kawakami’s thoughts: There is no replacing Thompson, as the Warriors found out last season, though it’s not like they thought they ever could. I can never picture Joe Lacob throwing up his hands and saying there’s no chance, especially while still in Stephen Curry’s and Draymond Green’s early 30s, so this might be a new launching point for the Warriors to throw around some money and see what they can stir up.
