Steve Kerr Says Klay Thompson
Will Likely Miss Entire Season
.
The Warriors coach broke the disappointing news during a recent interview with NBC Sports Bay Area.
.
It's unlikely that he's going to play this year. So we have to understand that.
, Steve Kerr, via NBC Sports.
Thompson tore his left ACL during Game 6 of the NBA Finals against the Toronto Raptors in June.
.
The Golden State guard had surgery to repair the torn ACL on July 1.
.
It was previously reported that Thompson would be out at least through the All-Star break in February.
.
You have to look at it realistically. I had an ACL [tear] in college, and I missed a whole season. Generally, an ACL for a basketball player is a
full-year recovery.
, Steve Kerr, via NBC Sports.
Thompson signed a five-year, $190 million contract this offseason to remain with the Warriors.
