Klay Thompson of the Golden State Warriors was out of the NBA for years due to a horrible injury but he’s been back for a few months now.
Some people thought that it would take some time for Thompson to play like his old self again.
Sure enough, he had a few difficulties re-entering the league.
However, he’s back in fine form now and the Warriors are loving every second of it.

In Thursday night’s triumph over the Los Angeles Lakers, Thompson was dominating on the floor.
This led to an impressive stat sheet for the star: over the last five games, Thompson has racked up 28.8 points, 4.4 rebounds, and 3.2 assists while shooting 44% from beyond the three-point line.
Will Thompson’s output be enough to take the Warriors far into the playoffs?
One Half Of The Splash
It’s a huge relief to Warriors fans to see Thompson playing terrifically again.
The team relies on Thompson for a lot of their offensive power.
However, the team is still missing its most valuable asset: Stephen Curry.
Curry is still rehabbing from injury and is expected to be back soon, right as the playoffs begin.
This will obviously help out the Warriors in some huge ways because the team is always better when both Curry and Thompson are on the floor.
The Warriors have had a lot of ups and downs this season and are entering a postseason that has quite a few challenges.
But if Curry is back and healthy and Thompson continues to play as he has been, Golden State has a decent chance at really shaking things up in the West.
The Splash Brothers are about to be reunited and fans of the Warriors couldn’t be more excited.
