“He’s the most complete defender in the league. It’s definitely heartbreaking news and a lot of tears. Really don’t know what to do because of what that man is going through. Two serious injuries The important thing is coming. In the end, we still need him. We hope he will stay by our side, become a part and connect the team”, The Undefeated quoted Curry.

The Golden State Warriors experienced a forgettable 2019/20 season when Curry and Thompson suffered serious injuries. Meanwhile, Curry only played 5 games due to a broken hand, while Thompson missed the entire season due to torn ligaments in game 6 of the 2019 NBA Finals series against the Toronto Raptors.

Warriors are expected to return to the position of a team competing for the championship in the 2020/21 season. However, Thompson once again tore his Achilles tendon. With this injury, Thompson continues to miss the entire 2020/21 season.

Both stars have played together since 2011, when Thompson was selected in the 11th round of the NBA Draft. Two years earlier, Curry was selected by the Warriors at No. 7 in the NBA Draft.

After Thompson’s new injury, the Warriors decided to bring back Kelly Oubre Jr., a player who averaged 18.7 points and 6.4 rebounds for the Phoenix Suns last season. The Warriors also selected young talent James Wiseman at No. 2 in the 2020 NBA Draft.

“For sure the beginning of the season will be very difficult. We have been waiting 7 months to return. Without Thompson, the first time will be very strange. However, I think the team will play well with James Wiseman and the others. other players. We have to learn many things and need effort from every player”, Curry emphasized.
