Steve Kerr believes Klay Thompson (knee) will play for Warriors in Game 5
Per The Athletic's Anthony Slater, Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr said he believes that guard Klay Thompson will play in Thursday's Game 5 against the Houston Rockets.
What It Means:
Thompson temporarily left Game 4 with an apparent knee injury. He returned but didn't seem himself, finishing the game 4-of-13 from the field. He is officially questionable, however, he's trending toward playing, which would be key for Golden State. With Andre Iguodala (leg) a question mark as well, Nick Young and Shaun Livingston would play heavy minutes if both are forced to sit.
Thompson is projected to play 38.4 minutes and tally 33.5 FanDuel points as long as he's active for Thursday's game.
