The 2018 NBA Finals between the Golden State Warriors and Cleveland Cavaliers got off to an unfortunate start. Just a few minutes into the game, Klay Thompson had to head to the locker room with a left lateral leg contusion, according to the ABC broadcast.
Thompson managed to return from the locker late in the first quarter and returned to the game to start the second quarter. Thankfully, it wasn't as bad for Thompson as it looked.
The Warriors updated Thompson's status on Friday, clarifying that the injury isn't near his knee, but rather, closer to his ankle. He was still able to play 45 minutes and scored 24 points in Golden State's victory.
"I'm just looking forward to getting 100 percent," Thompson said. "But I'm not missing Sunday."
The incident took place with a little over six minutes left in the first quarter, Steph Curry brought the ball up court and threw a hit ahead pass to Thompson along the sideline. As he did, J.R. Smith made a break on the ball to try and pick off the pass. He slipped, however, and came crashing into Thompson's legs.
