There are now a few hours to go before the highly anticipated return to the field of Klay Thompson. Numerous colleagues have entrusted their feelings for this event to social media, but not Kevin Durant, who decided to speak to reporters after his Brooklyn Nets’ victory against the San Antonio Spurs (121-119). The two were teammates from 2016 to 2019 ai Golden State Warriors.
KD’s words on Klay Thompson’s return
Tonight, at the Chase Center, Klay Thompson will be back on the pitch against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Even though Kevin Durant’s farewell to the Golden State Warriors wasn’t the most peaceful, the Nets star has always shown great respect for his former teammates. For this he stated:
“I’m excited for him. I am aware that it is a very, very important day over there in the Bay. It will be electrifying. Speaking with Klay over the last couple of years, you can only hear from the phone messages how excited he is to be back on the pitch. “
KD on Klay: “I’m excited for him. I know it’s a huge, huge day out there in the Bay Area. It’s going to be electric in there today. Talking to Klay over the last couple years, you can just feel it through text messages how excited he is to get back on the floor.”

Of course, Stephen Curry and Draymond Green also said they were very excited about the return of their longtime partner. Klay Thompson, Curry and Green have been playing Golden State together for 10 years. In 2016 Kevin Durant joined the group, already winner of a title. With this team they reached the Finals three times, winning two titles and losing in 2019 also due to serious injuries suffered by KD and Thompson.
The return of Klay Thompson, as well as a great emotion for all the fans, can be a decisive variable in the race for the ring. The Golden State Warriors are second in the Western Conference, and are a serious contender. If glimpses of old Klay are revisited, the Warriors may have drawn the right card to go all the way this season.
