Klay Thompson briefly exited Game 4 of the Western Conference Finals after an awkward fall.
During the second quarter of the game between the Golden State Warriors and Houston Rockets on Tuesday, Thompson drove to the basket and had his shot attempt blocked by Clint Capela. At the end of the play, Thompson fell to the ground and was seen holding his left knee.

A few moments later, Thompson headed back to the locker in obvious discomfort.

The Warriors went into Tuesday’s game shorthanded with Andre Iguodala nursing a knee injury of his own, so this caused worry. However, it was later reported by TNT that Thompson had a knee strain. He soon re-entered the game.
