Klay Thompson was ‘exhausting’ behind the scenes before Warriors exit
In June 2018, after the Warriors’ third championship in four years, coach Steve Kerr sparkled when talking about Klay Thompson, saying, “He’s not low-maintenance. He’s no-maintenance.” A year later, almost to the day, Thompson tore his ACL in the NBA Finals against the Raptors and that dynamic for Stephen Curry’s running mate would no longer ring true. “The last three years, I know Draymond [Green] has punched people and got himself suspended on the court … but Klay has been equally exhausting behind the scenes,” San Francisco’s KRON4 News reporter Jason Dumas said on 95.7 The Game. “It’s not as loud....
