Klay Thompson will return after a nearly three-year absence against the Cleveland Cavaliers tonight.
The second-best shooter of all-time tore his ACL in Game 6 of the 2019 NBA Finals before tearing his Achilles during a workout in Nov. 2020.
Thompson is a three-time NBA champion, five-time All-Star and the only player in NBA history to score 60 points in fewer than 30 minutes and score 37 points in a quarter.
He’s undoubtedly one of the best basketball players of his generation.

The sharps and big money are riding with public sentiment on the spread and backing the Warriors.
The majority of public bets are on the Warriors to cover at -8.5, and the wise guys have tailed the retail bettors.
The Action Network’s tracking data indicates several big money wagers on the Warriors to cover tonight.
A ridiculous 96% of the public money is on the Warriors to cover. The best price on the market is with FanDuel at -8.
The sharps have been fading the public on the total, though.
While the retail bettors have been slamming the over — moving the line from its open of 214 to as high as 217 — the sharp money is on the under.
It makes sense that for a game of this magnitude, most casual bettors would slam the over. Who wants to root for fewer points?
So, this may be a good opportunity for you, the reader, to fade them and take expected value when it comes.
Our NBA expert is also picking the under for this contest.
Sharp, Big Money Betting Pick: Warriors -8 or better | Under 216 or better.
