Klay Thompson

There is some good news on the Klay Thompson injury front.

Thompson underwent surgery on Wednesday for his torn Achilles tendon, and the operation was deemed a success.

Dr. Richard Ferkel performed the surgery in Los Angeles today and it was considered a success, per source. https://t.co/fp4kftXypk

Thompson suffered the injury while training in Los Angeles last week. The Achilles injury will cause him to miss the entire season, which will mark the second season in a row he misses due to injury.

The Golden State Warriors signed Thompson to a huge contract last year despite his torn ACL. He has four years and around $157 million left on the deal.

Thompson, 30, is a five-time All-Star. He averaged 21.5 points per game in 2018-2019 and is a career 41.9 percent 3-point shooter.
