Yesterday, I said that Klay Thompson had injured his knee and that the Golden State Warriors were diagnosing it. Well the diagnosis is in, and Klay Thompson tore his right achilles. This is the most serious injury that can happen to a basketball player, and Thompson will miss all of the 2020-2021 NBA season. Yes all of the 2020-2021 season.
This has to be the most frustrating thing in the world for Klay Thompson. After tearing his ACL in the 2019 NBA Finals and losing a championship, he spent all of the 2019-2020 season rehabbing his leg, and just got back to full strength. And now he hurts his other leg and has to rehab for all of this season.
We’ll have to see if the Warriors end up trading draft pick James Wiseman for a shooting guard since Klay will be out for the season. We also don’t know if Klay Thompson will ever come back the same, since this injury is so serious. Look at what happened to Demarcus Cousins.
Don’t forget to have an awesome day, and keep Klay Thompson in your thoughts.
