The Golden State Warriors came in as big underdogs this season. After falling just short of the playoffs last season, they came in with all force. With the great blend of youth and experience, they are one of the best teams in the NBA. However, they are still awaiting one of their best players, Klay Thompson. Recently, Stephen Curry and Klay showcased their shooting display in practice.
The Splash Brothers are one of the most dangerous backcourts in the NBA. In their time together, Curry and Klay were the two best shooters in the league. However, due to an ACL injury to Klay, the two haven’t shared the court in over two years. However, their return is now closer than ever as the Warriors expect Klay to be in game shape by January.
