Stephen Curry has revealed the message to Klay Thompson after Splash Brother suffered a season-ending Achilles injury before the 2020 NBA Draft.
“Be around the team as much as you can this season. We need you,” Curry told Thompson, according to The San Francisco Chronicle’s Connor Letourneau.
When the news first broke of Thompson’s season-ending ailment, Curry shared his emotional reaction. While his Warriors running mate won’t be able to play in the upcoming season, Curry knows that Thompson will still keep a positive mindset during his recovery process.
“I know he was working hard to get back,” Curry said.
“But he’ll bring that same effort, commitment and focus to this rehab. We, as his teammates, have to have his back and try to be positive and uplifting through the whole process because it’s tough. There’s no denying that. He’s young. He’s got a lot of amazing years left. We believe that, truly and fully. I know he does.”
Unfortunately, the two-way shooting guard will miss his second consecutive season for Golden State, creating a massive void on both ends of the floor. Nonetheless, Curry knows that Thompson will still play a crucial role on the team despite him not being in the lineup.
