The Golden State Warriors are waiting for the nearing return of Stephen Curry after missing a majority of the 2019-20 season due to injury. However, once Curry returns, he will still be without his backcourt mate Klay Thompson.
Thompson has been ruled out for the season by the Warriors due to the knee injury he suffered against the Toronto Raptors in game six of the 2019 NBA Finals. The “Splash Brothers” reunion on the court will have to wait till next season.
Although Warriors fans won’t get to see Thompson lace-up in his No. 11 jersey anytime soon, they did get a glimpse into his injury rehab.
The five-time NBA All-Star is featured in Kaiser Permanente’s “Rebound” commercial, based on his comeback from injury.
Thompson narrates the commercial from start to finish:
You never plan for a setback. And it usually feels like the worst possible time. Then you realize, it’s motivation to come back even stronger.

In the final seconds of the commercial, the screen reads “documentary coming soon.” In the future, fans may get a more in-depth look into what Thompson went through during the knee rehab that sidelined him for the entire 2019-20 season.
