Steve Kerr says he thinks Klay Thompson could be cleared at some point this season to play in both ends of back-to-backs. He’s going through a simulation run today to see how his body responds. – 6:54 PM

Klay Thompson is out today (back to back) but Warriors coach Steve Kerr says there probably ‘will come a time when he plays back-to-backs’ later this season. The hope is that he’ll be cleared in the coming months – 6:49 PM

Steve Kerr on the plan with Klay Thompson: “The hope is that he will play back-to-backs later this year.”
Klay walked by us in full gear on the way to the court and is going through a tough workout right now with Rick Celebrini – 6:48 PM

As expected, Jordan Poole will start in place of Klay Thompson tonight. Kerr says Thompson resting on one end of back-to-backs isn’t a new reality for him. The plan is for him to play in both some point this season. – 6:48 PM

Same plan as usual. Klay Thompson is out tonight on the second of a back-to-back
He and Andre Iguodala are the lone Warriors on the injury report – 4:37 PM

Klay Thompson is OUT tonight against the Rockets on the second night of the back-to-back. He has yet to play in both games of a back-to-back, and earlier in the season Kerr said he may not all season.
All other starters are active. This is the team’s first home back-to-back. – 4:37 PM

Rockets guard Eric Gordon, as expected houstonchronicle.com/texas-sports-n… to sit out second half of back-to-back against Warriors tonight. Warriors to hold out Klay Thompson, but Stephen Curry and Draymond Green, who sat out second half of Golden State’s previous back-to-back good to go. – 4:34 PM

Klay Thompson is resting tonight against the Rockets. Still yet to play both sides of a back-to-back since return. No one else on the Warriors is sitting. – 4:34 PM

Tale of two games for Klay.
Whenever he didn’t force a 3, he was really good: 6-for-8 from the field, 6 assists.
But most of his 3-for-13 were wild shots, especially in the fourth – 12:34 AM

Klay Thompson and Kevon Looney are developing a nice chemistry together. Steph and Draymond operate up top or on the left, side, Klay/Looney on the right side so Klay can to his preferred left side and get middle if the shot isn’t there. – 11:38 PM

Warriors up 11 at halftime on the Bulls. It was tight, but they closed the final 48 seconds on an 8-0 run. Steph Curry and-1 3 on Caruso, Kevon Looney made free throw, Donte DiVincenzo 3 after a Looney missed free throw/Lamb rebound. Poole has 16, Klay 14. – 11:15 PM

Jabari Smith takes the nice feed from Daishen Nix and knocks down the corner three. “Jabari Smith is going to be so good, man,” says @Ryan Hollins. “For a guy who can defend, he’s like the big version of Klay Thompson.” pic.twitter.com/ToCQRfBG6Y – 9:54 PM

More on this storyline
Would you be interested in playing your entire career with Golden State? Draymond Green: It’s incredible when you look at the amount of guys who’ve played for only one team. You can look around the NBA right now. There are five guys that’s been on a team for 11 years-plus. We have three of them [along with Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson]. It’s a very rare thing. There’s 470, 480 players in the NBA? There are five guys that’s been with his team for 11 years plus. That’s amazing. So, you don’t just give that away. So, absolutely I’d be interested in that. -via Andscape / December 2, 2022
