The Splash Brothers have not played together for the past two seasons. Moreover, Klay Thompson hasn’t appeared in an NBA game since the Toronto Raptors defeated the Golden State Warriors in the 2019 NBA Finals.

Considering that even Kevin Durant took 561 days to return from his injury, this approach could be effective for the Warriors. They recently recorded Klay Thompson working out in the gym. We see him playing cautiously in the footage. You can see him trying to make sure that he doesn’t apply too much pressure on his right leg. However, it is still a sign of progress.

This is an extremely positive sign for the Warriors franchise and fans. With the draft picks of Jonathan Kuminga and Moses Moody, Klay’s return could also serve as an excellent opportunity. Since Moody is a guard, Klay’s guidance could also help him reach higher in his potential skills. While Kuminga looks set to replace Draymond Green in the future, Moody could be groomed to become the torchbearer from Klay.

However, in the short run, the Warriors would love to see the splash brothers reunited. Would Stephen Curry be able to hold on for 32 games without Klay for them to have a shot at the playoffs? His history will give him the favoring odds in that situation. If one was a Warriors fan, they’d be pretty optimistic right now.
