It’s been nearly seven months since members of the Golden State Warriors took the floor at Chase Center in San Francisco. However, for Klay Thompson, it’s been even longer.
After tearing his ACL in game six of the 2019 NBA Finals, the Warriors ruled the five-time All-Star out for the entire 2019-20 campaign. Fast forward over a year, and Thompson is finally medically cleared to train without restrictions.
Thompson’s first chance to rejoin his teammates on the floor will begin next week. On Monday, the Golden State Warriors will kick off an offseason minicamp in the Bay Area.
Prior to the start of Golden State’s camp, Thompson took an early trip to Chase Center. On his Instagram story, the sharpshooting guard shared a photo from the inside of the Golden State Warriors arena.

The Warriors will begin their offseason camp with coronavirus testing and a 48-hour quarantine period in a San Francisco hotel. Following their tests and quarantine, the Warriors will go through group workouts and team scrimmages for two weeks.
Although Thompson is expected to be on the court, the Warriors could be without two of their All-Stars. Both Stephen Curry and Draymond Green are considered doubtful for the offseason training camp due to family reasons.
