Golden State Warriors veteran center Andrew Bogut calls All-Star shooting guard Klay Thompson “a tough motherfu**er.”
Bogut says Thompson never complains about anything and always plays through injuries. It's why Klay is so well-respected by his Warriors teammates.
“He’s a tough motherfucker,” Bogut told Ethan Strauss of The Athletic. “Thing with him is, he just doesn’t complain about anything. You never hear, ‘Oh, I’m sore.’ He just doesn’t complain. He just goes out and plays and that’s it.”
Thompson suffered a left hamstring strain in Game 2 of the NBA Finals, but everyone within the Warriors fully expects the sharpshooter to play in Game 3 on Wednesday. After all, Thompson has never missed a playoff game in his career.
In the 2019 playoffs, Thompson is averaging 19.5 points, 4.0 rebounds and 2.1 assists. The five-time All-Star is shooting 44.0 percent from the field, 41.1 percent from beyond the arc and 89.7 percent from the free-throw line.
With Kevin Durant still out with a right calf strain and Thompson dealing with his ailment, the Warriors will need all hands on deck in Game 3. Expect Stephen Curry to carry the load even more on offense since his backcourt mate won't be at 100 percent.
The Warriors need to win both Games 3 and 4 at Oracle arena to keep home-court advantage in the series against the Toronto Raptors.
