The Golden State Warriors’ regular season this year is off to a great start. It is true that it began on a disappointing note after their season opener loss to the Phoenix Suns. But since then, the Warriors have been on a consecutive winning streak. They have won five out of their six games played, including the away ones, where they have been bad in the previous seasons.
The 2022-23 season was especially tumultuous, with the team being riddled with chemistry issues and injury scares. This time around, however, the Warriors have finally found the rhythm and consistency that works best for them. A key contributor to all of their previous victories has been Klay Thompson. But his presence in tonight’s games is questionable, per reports.

After some major changes this off-season, it looked like the 33-year-old guard had finally found his rhythm with the overall team play. And this will definitely put a dent in his performance. Except for him, there is no one else who is reported to be injured.
