Embarrassed by his knee, Klay Thompson loses rhythm

While he had chained four solid performances to more than 20 points, including a 34-point outing to fully participate in the great victory of the Warriors against the Celtics last Saturday, Klay Thompson has been slowing down since his team left on a “road trip” at the beginning of the week.

The fault of a left knee, the one affected during the 2019 Finals, which squeaks, and which prevents him from finding his rhythm during this current series of six trips in the Eastern Conference.

Clumsy in Milwaukee (14 points at 6/16) then spared against the Pacers because the match was “back-to-back”, the other “Splash Brother” indeed reached the lowest point of his season as personal last night, during the defeat of valiant but limited Warriors on the floor of the 76ers (absences of Stephen Curry, Andrew Wiggins and Draymond Green), with only 12 points at 4/17 on shots, and a crying lack of rhythm and of juice, on shots that he usually registers without worries.

It was not certain that he was playing » said Steve Kerr on this subject, after the meeting. ” But you know him, he’s a fighter. He gave it his all, but the shots just didn’t land in there. It wasn’t his night, but he’ll bounce back. »

Not one to feel sorry for himself, Klay Thompson, author this season of his weakest scoring campaign since his third season in the league (18.4 points at 39.8% on shots), wanted to be reassuring, and above all as usual resilient, in his speech.

I’m not going to add pressure on my shoulders. » he concluded thus. ” I will continue to play my game. Do not count on me to force me to carry the team, to score such a total of points. I will find the solution in my own way, and at my own pace. »

As soon as possible, the defending champions will hope, still stuck in the soft underbelly of their conference after this 16th defeat in 30 games last night, while the Top 6 begins to move further and further away and the Knicks and the Nets, two of the best teams in the league for several days, are the next opponents on the schedule…
