What happened to Klay?

Thompson is one of the foundation players of the Warriors dynasty. However, injuries just don’t seem to leave the sharpshooter alone. It all started in 2019 during the finals against the Toronto Raptors.

Warriors came in as an injured team with star Kevin Durant out. Then, in Game 6, Thompson went off the floor with an injury after drawing in a hard foul. He landed awkwardly, causing damage to his knee. But, like a true warrior, he came back and made both the free throws before leaving the game.
