Golden State Warriors’ Klay Thompson is anxious to get back to normal
SAN FRANCISCO — Klay Thompson could soon play his first back-to-back since his ACL sprain in 2019.
“It’s really exciting,” Thompson said. “I’m happy that’s on the horizon. It’s not fun having to watch, and for as long as I did watch the team compete. I cherish every minute out there. So I’m excited for when the time does come. And I’m grateful to be healthy playing December basketball.” Director sports medicine and performance Rick Celebrini told coach Steve Kerr that there is no formula or science to determine when Thompson will be ready to play back-to-backs, but Thompson came out unscathed after a simulated game the day after the Warriors’ game against the Chicago Bulls as a test run to see how his body would respond.
The Warriors have 10 more back-to-backs this season, including five on the road — one is in New York to play the Knicks and Nets — and one split home and away. Back-to-backs on the road can be particularly grueling.
