Watch: Klay Thompson Spotted Getting Shots Up Before Warriors-Raptors Game 3 Despite Injury

The Golden State Warriors will play Game 3 against the Toronto Raptors. Will Klay Thomspon suit up for the game?

Thompson was listed as questionable ahead of the tilt game against the Raptors. The player was also seen doing shots in practice on Tuesday. Thompson was added to the injury report after suffering a mild hamstring strain.

The Warriors will be in huge trouble without Thompson. He is shooting 41.1% from downtown in the playoffs this year while averaging 19.5 points per game. In his games against the Raptors, these numbers went as high as 58.3% and 23 points per game.

Dalton Johnson believes that the Warriors will lose Game 3.

The Warriors already are without Kevin Durant. They lost a key contributor, Kevon Looney, to a fractured collarbone. And Klay Thompson is hampered by an injury, too. Golden State’s shooting guard is questionable for Wednesday night’s Game 3 of the NBA Finals against the Toronto Raptors. No matter what Thompson’s status is, though, FOX Sports’ Skip Bayless believes the Raptors are about to come into the Oracle Arena and beat the Warriors.”

Skip Bayless shares the same opinion. “Toronto will win Game 3 at Oakland with or without Klay Thompson,” he said Wednesday morning on FS1’s Undisputed.

Former NBA All-Star Antoine Walker went on FS1’s First Things First said a similar thing. “If Klay Thompson’s not able to go and Kevin Durant is not playing, the Warriors don’t have a chance to win this game tonight.”

Thompson left Game 2 in the fourth quarter due to a hamstring injury. Bayless praised Thompson for scoring through injuries several times on the big stage. However, he isn’t convinced that the Warriors are superior to Toronto. The Warriors haven’t impressed Bayless in their efforts to win games. Bayless says the Warriors don’t enjoy the same home-court advantage they used to have.

The Warriors are 6-2 in the playoffs this year at Oracle Arena. Their losses came in the first round to the Clippers before six consecutive wins at their home courts.

Thompson can’t be injured again, and the Warriors are better with him on the floor.
