Golden State Warriors star Klay Thompson has received a status update ahead of Thursday’s matchup against the Portland Trail Blazers.

The Warriors’ wing is now questionable to play, according to Anthony Slater of The Athletic.

“Klay Thompson added to the Warriors’ injury report tonight in Portland: Questionable, right knee tendinitis”

Thompson joins Warriors forward Draymond Green on the injury report. Green is also questionable with a right knee contusion.

Thompson has had plenty of ups and downs this season. His shot selection issues have stood out due to his decline in shot-making ability, and it got to the point where the Warriors found it best for him to come off the bench. Despite his challenges this season, the 34-year old shooting guard is proud of himself for staying mostly healthy this season, missing just four games in his second full season since returning from multiple career-threatening injuries that kept him out from 2019 to the start of 2022.

Said Thompson earlier this week, “82 games, I can’t be 100 percent every night. I mean, what did I miss, maybe three, four games this year? That’s incredible, after two years of rehab plus? That’s something I can hang my hat on, just being durable throughout the season.”

Thompson is now back in the Warriors’ starting lineup and is still capable of big night. He scored 32 on 12-23 shooting in Golden State’s win over the Jazz on Sunday, and during the game that virtually sealed the Houston Rockets’ elimination, he put up 29 points on 11-15 shooting from the floor.
