Why Is Klay Thompson Not Playing vs Pistons? Update On Warriors Star Reveals Nothing For Fans to be Worried About

The Warriors had a pretty disappointing time in Charlotte, losing to the home team in Overtime.

What made the loss worse, was that the Hornets didn’t even have LaMelo Ball back in the line-up yet due to the young man still yet to recover from his Grade 2 high ankle sprain.

Throughout this time, Klay Thompson was one of the many players who didn’t play great, scoring just 11 points, 4 rebounds, and 3 assists, while shooting just 35.8% from the field, and 14.3% from beyond the arc.

After such an abysmal night, it would have been normal for Golden State to try and record a convincing, spirit-raising victory… but Klay Thompson isn’t in the game, or even on the bench.

The Golden State Warriors have decided to rest Klay Thompson during their game vs Pistons

The Golden State Warriors believe that if they were to rest Klay Thompson, now would be the right time.

At the end of the day, the franchise did also decide to rest him during preseason. So, it’s no surprise that they are resting him during one of the games in back-to-back matches as well.

With no Klay Thompson to help them out on both ends for this one, it’ll be pretty interesting to see how the team pulls off a victory against what is a young, surging Pistons team.
