Is Klay Thompson Playing Tonight? Latest Warriors Injury Report Drops Ahead of Spurs Match-Up

The Golden State Warriors are desperately trying to hold on to their play-in spot. They are currently seeded 10th in the Western Conference with a 39-34 record and are facing a constant threat of the Houston Rockets overtaking them. Stephen Curry and Co. are on a three-game winning streak and looking to get another win tonight against the San Antonio Spurs. However, they might have to go into the game shorthanded, as Klay Thompson is still on the injury report.

As per the Warriors’ latest injury report, Klay Thompson is questionable to play in tonight’s Easter Day match-up. He missed Friday’s game against the Charlotte Hornets due to right knee tendonitis and might miss his second straight game tonight. That is a massive blow for the Warriors, as Klay had recently started playing like his former self. He has averaged 19.9 points, 2.6 rebounds, and 2.4 assists in his last 10 appearances before the injury.

Thompson has found a new life since he sacrificed his starting position and started coming off the bench. He has settled brilliantly into his new role and proved extremely effective. If Klay does not play tonight, the Warriors could suffer significantly when their second unit gets on the court. To add to the Warriors’ problems, Jonathan Kuminga is also questionable for tonight’s game. He has missed two straight games due to bilateral knee tendonitis.

On the Spurs side of things, stars Jeremy Sochan and Keldon Johnson will not play tonight due to injuries. Sochan is out due to a left ankle impingement, and Johnson is dealing with a left foot sprain. The absence of these Spurs players will give the Warriors a sigh of relief amid uncertainty about Klay and Kuminga’s availability.

Can the Warriors get to the playoffs amid injury concerns?

The road to the playoffs keeps getting harder for the Warriors as the season progresses. With only 9 games remaining in the regular season, Klay and Kuminga’s injury could increase their struggles. Stephen Curry and Co. will need their stars healthy if they wish to get into the playoffs. Even if the Warriors stay ahead of the Houston Rockets at the end of the season, they will have to face tough competition in the play-in tournament.

Stephen Curry and Co. will likely face the Lakers in their first play-in game. If they survive the Lakers, they will have to beat one more opponent to get into the playoffs. The Warriors believe they will be hard to beat in a 7-game series, but first, they need to get there to prove their mettle. Do you think the Warriors can make it to the playoffs amid Klay Thompson and Jonathan Kuminga’s injury?
