Warriors went light today in practice. They plan to scrimmage Thursday. Steve Kerr doubts Klay Thompson will participate in that scrimmage & if he doesn’t then he won’t play Sunday.
Kerr reemphasized that they’re being “really cautious & conservative” w/ Thompson in his ramp up – 4:10 PM
CJ Holmes @CjHolmes22
Today was a light practice day, Steve Kerr says. Tomorrow will be a heavier and Thursday the team will scrimmage.
Kerr doubts Klay Thompson will participate in that scrimmage. If he doesn’t, that rules him out for Sunday’s preseason game against the Lakers. – 4:10 PM
Mark Haynes @markhaynesnba
Steve Kerr said he doubts Klay Thompson is going to scrimmage on Thursday. – 4:09 PM
Kendra Andrews @kendra__andrews
Klay Thompson is TBD for the Warriors’ scrimmage on Thursday. But if he doesn’t scrimmage, he will not play in their next preseason game Sunday. – 4:08 PM
Jason Dumas @JDumasReports
The Warriors had a light practice today. It was mostly just shooting. Wednesday will be moderate. Thursday will be a scrimmage. If Klay doesn’t scrimmage, he won’t play on Sunday vs the Lakers. – 4:08 PM
Anthony Slater @anthonyVslater
Warriors went light in their first practice after the Japan trip today. Heavier practice tomorrow. Scrimmage on Thursday. Steve Kerr said he doubts Klay Thompson will scrimmage Thursday. Remaining cautious. If he doesn’t, that’d rule him out vs Lakers on Sunday. – 4:08 PM
