Klay Thompson and the Golden State Warriors have suffered through adversity throughout the entire postseason. Whether it be the injury to DeMarcus Cousins, the injury to Kevin Durant, or the Game 1 loss against the Toronto Raptors in the NBA Finals, the Warriors have found ways to stay confident and positive.
Unfortunately, the injury bug may have bitten the Warriors once again. Thompson seemed to injure his leg on a shot attempt in the fourth quarter of Game 2 against the Raptors. He played through it for a bit, but after a minute or two he started limping and had to come out of the game.
On his way to the bench, Thompson was seen screaming and furious about the incident. Take a look for yourself if you haven't seen it yet:

Hopefully, the injury is nothing serious that will force Thompson to miss any time. Ramona Shelburne has reported that Thompson is suffering from left hamstring tightness and that he will not return in Game 2.
Klay Thompson has left hamstring tightness and will not return tonight

Golden State has their hands full with a very talented Raptors team. Durant has no firm return date from the calf strain that he suffered against the Portland Trail Blazers. The Warriors cannot afford to lose Thompson.
More information will be available in the coming hours and days before Game 3. We will have the updates for you as they come in.
