Anyone who has followed the Warriors knows how much Klay Thompson has been raring to go. The 5x NBA All-Star has been prepared to make his comeback for quite some time now, and he received the green light for the same yesterday.

Safe to say, he did not let anyone down in his return. Klay scored 17 points, grabbed 3 rebounds, and blocked a shot in the 20 minutes he played. After the game, he was stopped and asked about his thoughts.

Klay was super ecstatic about his poster on Lamar Stevens and Lauri Markkanen.

It was wonderful to see Klay back with the team. He provided them with some much-needed offensive boost and got Stephen Curry almost out of his shooting slump. The Warriors now head on a four-game road trip, and Klay would have an important role to play there.
