The Golden State Warriors distanced themselves on Monday from minority owner Chamath Palihapitiya, who declared on a recent podcast appearance: “Nobody cares about what’s happening to the Uyghurs.” Palihapitiya, a venture capitalist and former Facebook and AOL executive, made the statement while speaking on the “All In” technology podcast that he co-hosts. The comments gained social media traction on Monday, including this post from Boston Celtics center Enes Kanter Freedom: “Nobody… Source link

After more than two years away, Klay Thompson finally stepped back on the court for the Golden State Warriors on Sunday night. Thompson, who suffered both an ACL injury and then an Achilles injury in recent years, officially made his return on Sunday at the Chase Center for the Warriors’ 96-82 win over the Cleveland Cavaliers. Thompson was in the starting lineup for the Warriors, and received a massive standing ovation from Warriors fans pregame. Draymond Green fouled instantly after the tip,… Source link

Golden State Warriors guard Klay Thompson is scheduled to make his highly anticipated return against the Cleveland Cavaliers on Sunday, according to The Athletic. The season debut comes 31 months after the five-time All-Star last played an NBA game.  The 31-year-old tore the ACL in his left knee during Game 6 of the Finals in June 2019. In his attempt to come back for the start of the ensuing season, Thompson tore his right Achilles’ tendon in November 2020. The Warriors cleared Thompson… Source link

The Christmas Day battle between the NBA’s top two teams did not disappoint on Saturday afternoon.

The Golden State Warriors are still capable of taking down some of the NBA’s heavy hitters, primarily thanks to Stephen Curry‘s MVP campaign, but they have also had a tendency to turn into a raging dumpster fire at times this year. Tuesday’s game against the Dallas Mavericks was one of those times. In a game with major NBA seeding implications, the Warriors fell 133-103 to Dallas, and the game was somehow uglier than the final score indicated. Golden State’s nadir: a 28-0 run that turned a… Source link

This isn’t how this season was supposed to go. On the heels of a campaign lost to injury and exodus, 2020-21 was supposed to mark a return to relevance for the Golden State Warriors. Another championship contender in the Bay, old-school Splash Brothers style. But like so much else in 2020, those plans went up in smoke, thanks largely to the offseason Achilles tear suffered by Klay Thompson. It’s a devastating setback that will cost him a second straight season after losing 2019-20 to a… Source link
