Is Klay Thompson playing tonight against the San Antonio Spurs? | 2021-22 NBA season
Klay Thompson and the Golden State Warriors are preparing for tonight's game against the San Antonio Spurs. It's a clash between two Western Conference opponents, and the Warriors will look to continue their six-game winning streak.
After dealing with some inconsistent play recently, Golden State has started to find their groove again. The team has won eight of its last 10 games and is currently in second place in the Western Conference. The Warriors continue to look like one of the most dangerous teams in the league, and Tuesday night's game against the Spurs will be the final game of a quick two-game road trip.
Since his much-anticipated return, Warriors star Klay Thompson has struggled with efficiency. That was expected, as Thompson is playing his first games in almost two years. Thompson has started to show progress as he's averaged 17.0 points, 4.0 rebounds and 3.8 assists per game in his last four outings. During that stretch, Thompson went on to shoot 45.6%, including 36.7% from 3-point range.
