Following Klay Thompson's latest injury, fans as well as players - active and retired - have shared their thoughts on Twitter in this regard, with most of them wishing the injury to be not a major one.

Without further ado, let's delve into some of the reactions.

Needless to say, if Klay Thompson's injury turns out to be a serious one, it would be a nightmarish situation for the Golden State Warriors. As it stands, the franchise's 'dynasty' is under serious threat, and the Warriors may now have to scurry for possible replacements for Klay Thompson this off-season.

Following the NBA news update about Klay Thompson's latest injury in the middle of the NBA Draft 2020, the Golden State Warriors' general manager Bob Myers sounded expectedly distraught about the development.

It would be safe to say that a plethora players and reporters from around the NBA also feel the same way as Myers.

Fans from around the league will be hoping that Klay Thompson's MRI results don't allude to his injury as anything too serious. However, in the immediate aftermath of his injury, the player reportedly couldn't put his weight on his leg, something that doesn't augur well for Klay Thompson or the Warriors.

Fans of the franchise have been hoping to see the Splash brothers wreak havoc on the court once again. However, if the situation is as dire as it seems, there is a good possibility that Klay Thompson may never be the same player again.
