If there was any doubt that Klay Thompson is fully healthy, he erased those concerns early enough. The Golden State Warriors star threw down a monster jam in his return against the Cleveland Cavaliers.
Check out the Warriors star dunk on not one, but two Cavs as he detonated at the rim:

The best part was the reaction from everyone on the Warriors bench – especially his Splash Brother Steph Curry, who went wild on the sidelines.

Not long after, Klay also delighted the Warriors fans in attendance with his first made three in over two years.

Klay didn't exactly have the greatest half in his debut against the Cavs, scoring seven points on 3-for-9 shooting from the field. But getting his first bucket, his first poster dunk, and his first triple to go down must be the greatest feeling in the world after his lengthy hiatus.
No matter what his final numbers are on the box score, the important thing is that he's finally back on it.
With the Warriors securely holding home court advantage in the Western Conference, they'll have plenty of leeway to get Klay Thompson acclimated at his own pace. But after seeing that dunk in his first half of NBA basketball in over two years, it probably won't take too long.
