Klay Thompson left the Game 2 win over the Raptors in the fourth quarter with hamstring tightness. Thompson did not return and looked in discomfort as he headed back to the Warriors' locker room. However, the 29-year-old has stated that he will be okay to play in Game 3 on Wednesday, and his MRI only indicated a mild strain of the hamstring.

Kevon Looney suffered a chest injury in the first half of Sunday's game. The injury restricted the 23-year-old to just 10 minutes, and the Warriors believe that Looney will miss the remainder of the postseason.

Forward Kevon Looney, who did not play in the second half of last night’s Game 2 of the NBA Finals due to an upper body injury, underwent an MRI exam today in the Bay Area. The MRI indicated that Looney has suffered a non-displaced first costal cartilage fracture (right side). He will be out indefinitely.
