Klay Thompson Says He Doesn't Expect to Miss Game 3 After Injuring Hamstring

Klay Thompson pulled up with a hamstring injury late in Game 2 against the Raptors, sending fear down the spines of Warriors fans. The thought of losing another star player was not pleasant, but it seems that Thompson is going to be okay.

When asked about his availability for Game 3, Thompson seemed confident that he'd be on the floor with his teammates.

That's a big relief for Warriors fans as this injury could have been much worse. He was walking gingerly, to say the least, and went to the locker room after taking himself out of the game.

Steve Kerr sounded slightly less optimistic, but still didn't rule out the possibility of Klay returning for Game 3. He did mention that the injury is minor.

Steve Kerr: "Klay said he'll be fine. But Klay could be half dead and he'd say he's fine. We'll see. He pulled his hamstring. Said it's minor."

So, good news for Warriors fans, as it appears Thompson will be good to go for Game 3. With the series returning to Oracle Arena all knotted up, Thompson's sharpshooting prowess will be relied on as Golden State vies to take a 2-1 series lead the next time they take the floor.

Thompson provided 25 points on 10-for-17 shooting from the field before leaving in the fourth quarter. He shot 4-for-6 from three-point range and dished out 5 assists.
