With the success of the ESPN’s 30 for 30 series “The Last Dance,” one member of the Golden State Warriors is joining the documentary game. Klay Thompson recently dropped a trailer for a film that will chronicle his return from injury.
Although the NBA season has been on hold for over a month due to the coronavirus pandemic, it’s been even longer since Thompson suited up for the Golden State Warriors. The five-time All-Star injured his knee in game six of the NBA Finals against the Toronto Raptors.
Thompson racked up 30 points on 8-of-12 shooting with four triples against the Raptors before he suffered a torn ACL midway through the third quarter. The Warriors couldn’t overcome Thompson’s absence, dropping game six to give Toronto the 2019 championship.
Thompson discusses his injury, the game six loss and his recovery in the trailer for “Above The Waves.”

Nothing’s stopping me from coming back stronger. Stay tuned for ABOVE THE WAVES presented by @KPThrive, the full story about my physical and mental recovery from my ACL injury. Streaming on May 6th. #TrainTheMind pic.twitter.com/i7MbAzbgmn

Before the schedule was paused with 17 games remaining, the Warriors ruled Thompson out for the rest of the 2019-20 season. Without basketball, watching the Golden State guard in a documentary might be the next best thing.
The streaming premiere of “Above The Waves” is slated to air on May 6.
