Thompson, one of the best players in the league, won't rush back under any circumstances.
Klay says he is comfortable with the Warriors timeline as he continues rehabbing an ACL injury. Bob Myers said the organization will have an update on Klay's status around the All Star break. "I'm going to do what the team says … the last thing you want to do is rush back."

Klay Thompson's agent said in July Thompson’s recovery is going to be tilted toward the back end of a 5-to-7 month timetable.
The Warriors are going to be cautious with Thompson since they gave him a five-year max contract this summer worth $190 million. Klay’s long-term health is very important to the organization.
Last season, Thompson averaged 21.5 points, 3.8 rebounds and 2.4 assists for the Warriors. The five-time All-Star shot 46.7 percent from the field, 40.2 percent from beyond the arc and 81.6 percent from the free-throw line.
In the 2019 playoffs, Thompson put up 20.7 points, 4.1 rebounds and 2.1 assists. The Warriors lost to the Toronto Raptors in the NBA Finals in six games. Thompson tore his left ACL in Game 6.
Golden State acquired All-Star point guard D’Angelo Russell in a sign-and-trade deal with the Brooklyn Nets after Kevin Durant agreed to sign with Brooklyn. Russell and Stephen Curry will share the backcourt while Thompson is rehabbing.
Warriors fans can’t wait to see Thompson back in the lineup. It sounds like we won't see the sharpshooter until March or April.
