The Golden State Warriors seem to be back at their peak, with Stephen Curry being the driving force. However, they are not even at full potential yet. Guard Klay Thompson and center James Wiseman have been out for the entire season.
A major update has come for the Bay regarding the return of their two stars.
Thompson last played an NBA game back in the 2019 NBA finals. A knee injury followed by an ACL injury kept him out for two whole years. On the other hand, Wiseman went through surgery to repair a right meniscal tear. Their progress was going great as they joined the Warriors’ G league team to practice.
