Draymond Green Reveals Klay Thompson’s Importance In Warriors’ Locker Room

After working his way back into form following the torn ACL he suffered during the 2019 NBA Finals, Klay Thompson received new devastating news when an injury he suffered this past offseason turned out to be an Achilles tear.

But Thompson, who will miss the entire season, is still with the team as often as his rehab allows him to, and he seems to be more than appreciated by every single one on the team

Klay’s a superstar, a mentor, a leader, and the Warriors are well aware of the importance of having him on the team.

Draymond Green for example recently spoke on Sirius XM Radio, and revealed how important Klay Thompson is to the Dubs’ locker room:

“I mean, you know, for us, it’s always great having Klay around, because he just he kind of brings a different energy. I think you will probably know, well, just being around, he brings a different energy to everyone, then everyone else, you know, and, you know, having him back around.

He’s excited to be back around the team, you can do, you know, Klay, you know, Klay without basketball, it doesn’t work, you know, basketball, he needs basketball, he live, eat, sleep, breathe basketball, you know, so, you just know, that doesn’t work, but it hasn’t come back around a team.”

"It's this newfound Klay, man. This dude doesn't stop talking."#ChinaKlay ➡️ #BoatKlay ➡️ #ChattyKlay@Money23Green tells @ROSGO21 how a newly talkative @KlayThompson is impacting the @Warriors young players despite his injury. #DubNation pic.twitter.com/I33dfMEKQf
