Klay Thompson's triumphant return to the court marked the end of a long and brutal recovery process. The Golden State Warriors star jumped right back into the starting lineup and has helped the Dubs win the second-most games in the league before the All-Star break.

So far, Thompson has averaged 17.1 points (second-most on Golden State), 3.8 rebounds and 3.1 assists while shooting 37.4 percent from beyond the arc in 16 games this season. He told Anthony Slater of The Athletic that he wants to get back to his full form.

“I want to be back to playing at an elite level when I was making All-NBA teams. I know that’s going to come. I’m ahead of schedule from where I thought I’d be. I’m very competitive. I want to shoot at a high percentage. I want to be as efficient as I was.”

Although Thompson is making progress, the Warriors star explained that he is still not 100% yet.

“I think I’m at like 80 percent,” Thompson said. “Still have a long way to go. But 80 percent me is still great on that side of the ball. I can use my strength to body guys, my size to body smaller guards. Be solid against big men. I can still switch. But as far as my lateral quickness, it’s about — from where it was — it’s about 80, 85 percent from where it was. I know it’ll take time to come back. There will be bumps in the road.”

The Warriors still opt to sit Thompson on the second game of back-to-backs but have otherwise allowed him to get back onto the court and play significant minutes. He said that he is looking to ramp up his production and become the best version of himself in time for the playoffs.
