Stephen Curry On Klay Thompson’s Nearing Comeback: “Thank God He Still Remembers How To Shoot The Ball”

After working his way back into form following the torn ACL he suffered during the 2019 NBA Finals, Klay Thompson received new devastating news when an injury he suffered in last year’s offseason turned out to be an Achilles tear.

Now, Thompson’s return seems around the corner. Additionally to various reports of a Klay Thompson comeback around Christmas, or early January, Thompson has been cleared to go 100 percent and has started practicing with the Warriors’ G League affiliate in Santa Cruz.

With his return nearing, his backcourt partner, the second Splash Brother Stephen Curry, spoke about the return, and Thompson’s impressive practice footage:

“Thank god he still remembers how to shoot the ball. Got some change you know. Seems like he’s got a good pep in the step and good energy out there just his body movement and all that. It is hard to get a fell for like the speed and intensity, we all watched in all film. They showed a highlight package of I think the second scrimmage they had down in Santa Cruz. Looked he was just out there confident, having fun knocking them down.”
