VIDEO: Klay Thompson Heads to Locker Room After Sustaining Hamstring Injury in 4th Quarter
By Karl Rasmussen
UPDATE: Klay Thompson is dealing with hamstring tightness and will not return to Game 2.
The Golden State Warriors mounted an impressive second half comeback in Game 2, and just when things were going in their favor, their luck changed. While they were still ahead on the scoreboard, star wing shooter Klay Thompson was seen in pain and exiting the floor, heading towards the locker room with an apparent injury.

Thompson limped off the court towards the bench, looking visibly frustrated with head coach Steve Kerr. He later headed into the locker room to be examined by the medical staff.
Klay Thompson looks hurt. He is leaving the court. He looks very upset and in pain.

The loss of Thompson would be a big blow for the Warriors as they look to hold on to their lead in Game 2 over the Raptors and head back to Oracle Arena with a victory and an even series.
