The Golden State Warriors players have been expressing heartfelt messages as they welcome back one of their cornerstone players, Klay Thompson, to the Bay Area. Thompson, who has been recovering from two significant injuries—an Achilles tendon tear and a torn ACL—has been sidelined for two consecutive seasons. His return to the team has been met with overwhelming support from teammates, coaches, and fans alike.
Draymond Green, Thompson’s long-time teammate and close friend, posted a message on social media, writing, “Welcome back home, brother!” The two players have built a strong bond over the years, winning multiple championships together, and Green’s message reflected both their personal connection and the team’s excitement for Thompson’s return
Stephen Curry, another member of the Warriors’ “Splash Brothers” duo, also shared his joy at seeing Thompson back on the court. In an Instagram post, Curry described Thompson as “the heart and soul of this franchise.” The pair, who have led Golden State to multiple titles, have long been a dynamic and successful duo on the court. Curry’s post highlighted Thompson’s contributions to the team’s legacy and the immense impact he’s had on the Warriors’ success over the years.
Head coach Steve Kerr also weighed in, calling Thompson’s return “a huge moment” for the Warriors, acknowledging how difficult it has been for Klay to go through the rehab process. Kerr added, “Klay is a special player and a special person. We’re thrilled to have him back.”
As the Warriors prepare for the upcoming season, Klay Thompson’s return is seen as a key component in their pursuit of another championship. His scoring ability, defensive prowess, and leadership on the court are expected to elevate the Warriors as they aim to continue their dominance in the NBA.
