Klay Thompson is reportedly getting closer to a return to the field, as he is expected either just before Christmas or possibly right after, depending on his health.

As of now, he's been practicing with the Golden State Warriors' G League affiliate in Santa Cruz and will continue to get game action with the team before returning to the Warriors.

Although it may only be a few clips in a G League practice, it is great to see Thompson back on the court. Unsurprisingly, he has been locked in from day one.

Santa Cruz's head coach, Seth Cooper, said Thompson couldn't miss when he stepped on the court.

According to Cooper, "He's cleared for full go, so everything we did was 100 percent him going.". "There was no holding him back.

"It was just letting him experience everything that he could. Then he did it, and he did it well... I believe he made his first 18 shots."

Thompson has been out of action since Game 6 of the 2019 Finals, when he tore his ACL in a Warriors' season-ending loss to the Toronto Raptors. He then tore his Achilles tendon during a workout shortly before the season started.

Thompson is about to play basketball again after two seasons and two-plus calendar years. When he returns to the court, he'll join a Warriors team that once again looks like a title contender.

So far this season, they're 21-5 with a plus-12.0-net rating that leads the league. Thompson's return will be the icing on the cake for the Warriors.

Bronny James Sets Lakers Record That Even Legends Couldn’t

Photo: Bronny James / Instagram   The Los Angeles Lakers, known for their legendary players and rich history, have made headlines again. This time, it’s not because of LeBron James, but his son, Bronny James . Bronny, who recently joined the Lakers, has already made history—but not for his basketball skills just yet. Bronny and LeBron became the first father-son duo to play for the same NBA team. While Bronny’s time on the court is just beginning, he’s breaking records off the court. His jersey sales have skyrocketed , setting a new Lakers record that even the biggest stars couldn’t reach. After Bronny’s draft, over 500,000 of his jerseys sold, each priced at around $100. That’s over $50 million in revenue—an achievement that eclipses even LeBron’s jersey sales.
