Klay Thompson Overtakes LeBron James as Warriors Battle w/o Stephen Curry

In a dominating performance, the Milwaukee Bucks handed a decisive defeat to the top-seeded Boston Celtics in the previous game. Now, they host the Golden State Warriors, who entered the game without key players. With Draymond Green still awaiting a return, a fatigued Stephen Curry was rested for the matchup, leaving Klay Thompson as the sole player from their dynasty trio on the court. Both teams look forward to sparking a winning run.

Damian Lillard lit up the early stages with a dazzling display of fireworks. Despite the absence of key players, the Warriors showcased a fluid offense, spreading the scoring across their short-handed rotation. Furthermore, amidst their harmonious rhythm, Thompson achieved a well-deserved feat.

Klay Thompson overtakes LeBron James on an all-time list

In a historic moment for the Golden State Warriors, Klay Thompson etches his name in the record books during their clash against the Milwaukee Bucks. In the absence of Stephen Curry, Klay entered the game with 2336 three-pointers by his name. With just his third three of the game, Klay surpasses LeBron James on the all-time three-pointers made list.

As the game unfolds, expectations soar for Klay to further elevate this number, particularly since he stands as the lone representative of the Warriors’ formidable trio on the court. Klay now ascends to the 7th position in the NBA’s all-time three-pointers made list. Next in line for Klay will be to surpass Kyle Korver, who sits ahead with 2450 threes to his name.

Remarkably, being a three-point shooter, Klay Thompson reached this milestone in almost half the number of games compared to LeBron James. LeBron boasts 2338 three-pointers made across 1457 games, while Klay surpassed him in just 753 games.

Draymond Green might return in the coming week

Draymond Green is yet to play a game for the Warriors this year. He has been sidelined from the lineup since December 12, 2023, due to a combination of an indefinite suspension and conditioning issues following the suspension; leading to a string of missed games. However, Warriors’ coach Steve Kerr recently injected optimism among fans by hinting at Green’s potential return to the active rotation in the latter part of their upcoming road trip next week.

Following their matchup against the Milwaukee Bucks, the Warriors are set to face the Utah Jazz and the Memphis Grizzlies. If Green feels well and receives clearance, there is a possibility of his return in one of these two games. Otherwise, fans might have to exercise patience until Friday, when the Warriors are scheduled to host the Dallas Mavericks.
