Steve Kerr said Klay Thompson may not play in back-to-backs all year.
“Ultimately the players’ health is the number one factor in our team’s success… ideally it’s a 65 game season and everybody plays every night.” – 7:11 PM

Klay Thompson isn’t All-D or All-NBA KLAY anymore, but he’s still a good defender. It’s kind of shocking to see a 6-foot-10 with this kind of handle breaking down Thompson off the bounce to get to the rim for a layup. Good patience by Banchero to let the traffic clear first too. pic.twitter.com/EU7E6OOs3B – 8:46 AM

Best sign for the Warriors during a strong first half in Orlando: 14 Klay Thompson points. Some extra juice in his movement/jumper. Made four 3s. Kerr also rearranged Wiseman’s rotation to get him more time next to starters. It worked in debut stint. – 8:13 PM

Dalton Johnson: While the Warriors rest Steph Curry, Klay Thompson, Draymond Green and Andrew Wiggins tonight, here’s an impressive number to know: 120. That’s how many games in a row Kevon Looney will have played after tonight -via Twitter @DaltonJ_Johnson / November 4, 2022
Four months after a glorious, affirming championship, nirvana and mortality collided. The Warriors came to terms with Andrew Wiggins and Jordan Poole on massive extensions; they struck no deal with Green, and did not hold substantive discussions with Thompson, sources said. (Green has a player option for next season. Thompson cannot become a free agent until July 2024; the Warriors have more time to negotiate with him.) -via ESPN / November 4, 2022
