It was his night! After 940 days, Clay Thompson stepped on the floor again in the NBA, after two serious injuries he had gone through and the big fight he had given for his return.
The 33-year-old shooting guard returned to the Oracle Arena and the Warriors’ friends reserved for him a magnificent welcome that he had seen before in his dreams.
In a terrific atmosphere, Thompson was the last to enter the field and start in the starting five of the Warriors, who combined this event with the victory (96-82) over the Cavaliers and reached the top with 30 wins in 39 games. .
The experienced guard / forward played for 19:55 and scored 17 points (4/10 two points, 3/8 three points), 3 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 block, having an impressive nailing showing that he had left behind the cruciate ligament rupture and in then the Achilles tendon that kept him out of action for almost two and a half seasons.
Steph Curry entered the match with 4/4 three-pointers but continued with 0/7 and finished the game with 28 points and 10/21 shots (4/11 three-pointers).
From the other matches, he stood out the Grizzlies’ impressive, ninth straight victory over the Lakers in LA with 127-119, but also the The Mavericks prevailed over the Bulls 113-99 with Luka Doncic making his third triple-double this year with 22 points, 14 rebounds and 14 assists.
