Warriors’ Klay Thompson cannot wait to have his brother Draymond Green back on the court with him, talks about his current minutes

Drafted in 2011, Klay Thompson has been around with the Warriors for 11 years now. Drafted a year later, Draymond Green has been with the Dubs for a decade now. Anyone who has watched Warriors’ basketball knows how strong the bond is between these guys. Draymond, who was injured on 9th(the day Klay made his return), suited up and stayed for the tip to welcome his brother back. After the game, Klay talked about how great that was, and what a winner DG is.

Tonight, the Warriors took on the Grizzlies without Green yet again and fell short of winning the game. After the game, Klay talked about wanting to share the court with Draymond, and his minutes.

Draymond Green and Klay Thompson share a very special bond, both on and off the court. While making his return to the NBA feels surreal to Klay, it isn’t complete till he suits up with Green again.
After the game, Klay first talked about his minutes. Thompson explained,
‘Being a competitor, I want more time on the floor, but bring out for so long, I cant just jump back into 40 minutes of play.’

Klay also talked about how much he wants to share a floor with Draymond again.

However, it looks like Klay might have to wait a little longer. Head Coach Steve Kerr discussed how it’s doubtful that Green would join the team on the remaining 3 games of this road trip.

After having waited for 31 months, I’m sure both Klay and Draymond wouldn’t mind waiting a few more days to get Green back in shape.
