Is Klay Thompson Playing Tonight Vs Knicks? Warriors Release an Injury Update for the Splash Brother

The Golden State Warriors have had a turbulent start to the 2022-2023 season. Much to everyone’s surprise, the defending champions are sitting 11th in the West with a horrific 15-16 record. Things have already been concerning for Steve Kerr’s boys. The SF-based franchise further suffered a huge blow as Stephen Curry is expected to sit out for a few weeks with a shoulder injury.

With the 2-time MVP sidelined for multiple games in the upcoming games, the likes of Jordan Poole and Klay Thompson will have to carry the extra offensive load for the team. The team successfully managed to do so against the Toronto Raptors in their first game after Curry’s injury.

However, the main question stands – could they repeat it consistently? The likes of Thompson, Andrew Wiggins, and Jonathan Kuminga are mentioned on the team’s latest injury report. Will the team grab a 2nd straight win when they play against the Knicks on Tuesday night?

Klay Thompson is listed as ‘probable’ against the New York Knicks

Klay is experiencing soreness in his left knee. He missed out on GSW’s back-to-back clash against the Indiana Pacers. Thompson did make his return to the lineup despite being listed as a ‘questionable’ for both clashes.

In those 2 games, the Splash Brother has averaged an underwhelming 14.5 points on only 32.2% shooting from the field.

Similar to the previous bout, for the Warriors’ clash against the Knicks, Klay is listed as ‘probable’. Alongside Jonathan Kuminga.

While Wiggs will miss out on the contest, Dub Nation can expect their sharpshooter to be suited up and available for the bout.

The short-handed Warriors, coming off a huge 126-110 win, will face the wrath of an in-form New York Knicks at the MSG with the game tipping off at 7:30 PM ET.
