Warriors’ Klay Thompson goes through warmups before Game 3
OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — Klay Thompson is going to warm up before Game 3 of the NBA Finals and his status remains uncertain.
The Golden Warriors guard sustained a mild left hamstring strain in Game 2 three days ago. Thompson, who has been listed as questionable, will be evaluated by the training staff before tipoff.
Coach Steve Kerr says: “He’s making a very strong case. He wants to play no matter what.”
Thompson did some running and shooting earlier in the day but Kerr says the Warriors weren’t going to play him “if there’s risk.”
The two-time defending champion Warriors and Toronto Raptors are tied 1-1 in the best-of-seven series.
Thompson is averaging 19.5 points, 4.0 rebounds and 2.1 assists this postseason, including 23.0 points through the first two finals games.
