Klay Thompson might not be able to do much moving on the court until the All-Star break, but he has already packed his things and slid into a new place in hopes to be closer to the Golden State Warriors' new arena in downtown San Francisco. The marksman, however, won't reveal what district he has moved into:
“Came a long way from Oracle, it's dear to my heart, but this is like state-of-the-art,” Thompson told Grant Liffmann and Drew Shiller of NBC Sports Bay Area's “Warriors Outsiders” at Warriors Media Day. “I still have a home in East Bay. It's the first home I ever purchased, so I got a special place in my heart for that. But I did get a place in San Francisco — I will never tell you guys — but I am in the city now.”
The marksman's English Bulldog Rocco has yet to get used to his new surroundings, but he will have plenty of time to get acclimated throughout a long season:
“He does [have to learn a new area], but luckily — quick hint — I'm right by a park,” said Thompson.
Thompson won't get to play in the newly built Chase Center until he has fully recovered from the torn ACL he suffered in Game 6 of the NBA Finals, but he will be close to the practice facility for his rehabilitation process.
The 6-foot-7 guard has yet to do much on the hardwood floor, but he has shot all his scenes for the upcoming movie “Space Jam 2,” which stars LeBron James:
“It's all done, your boy is going for the Oscar nod,” Thompson joked about the film. “Supporting, best-animated film, I don't know.”
It seems Thompson is in good spirits after his injury, even if he has admitted that the toughest part has yet to come as he witnesses his longtime teammates take the floor without him.
