According to the latest NBA news update, Klay successfully finished quarantine and has begun practicing with the team today. Speaking about Klay's return to practice, Warriors' coach Steve Kerr said he was happy with the way the 30-year-old performed on his first day.

Steve Kerr on Klay Thompson: "This was his first practice coming off an ACL injury. I didn't expect him to be in top form and he was not. But he moved well and it was a great first step. Klay got a lot of good work in and was able to gauge where he is right now."

This comes as a great relief for the Warriors camp as their other two superstars, Steph Curry and Draymond Green, will not be participating in the minicamp.
