Klay Thompson Shelved by Injury

Just as he's readying to return for another Warriors basketball season, Klay Thompson suffers an achilles injury that will keep him off the court for another season. In the 2019 NBA Finals, he tore a ligament in his left knee that shelved him for a full season. This latest injury means he will miss back-to-back seasons due to injury.

It's a blow to us Golden State Warriors fans, but I'm sure a bigger disappointment to Klay as a basketball player. I can't imagine the relentless, physical rehabilitation work he has put in to get himself primed and ready for this season, only to see it neutralized by another injury.  Only professional athletes know the deep regret and depression that comes with an injury that forces you out of the game you've played and loved since childhood.

Keep your head up Klay. You've got family, fans and Rocco all rooting for your recovery. Don't Give Up The Ship Klay! We still appreciate your services here in the Bay.
