Klay finished with a team-high 25 points on Sunday night as the Warriors evened the series with the Toronto Raptors at 1-1. Although he is now listed as questionable, Thompson assured everyone after the game that he'd be ready to go on Wednesday night.
“No, I don’t see myself missing Game 3,” Thompson told Yahoo Sports.
“I’ll be fine,” Thompson added. “That was a good win for us tonight.”
The Warriors have also announced that center Kevon Looney will be out indefinitely after suffering a fracture in his collarbone during Game 2.
As for Kevin Durant, there's still hope that he'll be able to suit up for Game 3, or Game 4 at the latest. Yahoo Sports Chris Haynes reported Friday, "There’s some optimism within members of the organization that a Game 3 arrival could be viable, but there’s a stronger possibility that Game 4 is the most logical option, sources said."
Game 3 of the NBA Finals, airing on ABC, is set to tipoff at 9pm ET tomorrow, June 5.
