Klay Thompson Says He’s Never Been Hungrier To Return

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 was still with the team as often as his rehab allowed him to, and he seems to be more than appreciated by every single one on the team.

Thompson, who will likely make a full recovery, possibly even for the start of the new season, now said that he’s never been hungrier to return, especially after the Warriors’ loss to the Grizzlies.

“I’ve got to watch a lot of hoops the last 2 years, and figured out quick it’s not my specialty. While our season comes to an end, mines just getting started and I’ve never been hungrier. I truly believe my best ball lies ahead of me. We ain’t done I promise you that.”

Klay’s got love for his team ❤️

He’s coming back “hungrier” next year
