Klay Thompson to make his return against the Cleveland Cavaliers tonight

Stephen Curry #30, Draymond Green #23 and Klay Thompson #11 of the Golden State Warriors react against the Toronto Raptors in the second half during Game Four of the 2019 NBA Finals at ORACLE Arena on June 07, 2019 in Oakland, California.

The Golden State Warriors have had an amazing run thus far, holding a 29-9 record. The team looks set to have an even better second half of the season with the return of Klay Thompson. He has been getting himself ready for his season debut, playing with Warriors G-League affiliate Santa Cruz.

On Dec. 30, 2021, Thompson had a scrimmage with Steph and the Warriors first team for the first time since 2019. Clips released suggested he still got it as he threw down threes repeatedly without missing.

Steve Kerr has made it clear that he won't be experimenting with Klay Thompson's return. Thompson won't be eased into the season by coming off the bench or being placed on a minutes restriction. Instead, Kerr revealed that the Warriors shooter will be in the starting lineup for his first game back.

A win in tonight's game encounter with the Cavaliers will most likely see the Warriors return to 1st place in the NBA Western Conference, unseating the Phoenix Suns. There's no better player to guarantee a win tonight than Klay Thompson.
