What was opinionated by Klay Thompson? 

Klay Thompson’s comments were in clear reference to Dillon Brooks. The Grizzlies swingman was slapped with a suspension after injuring Gary Payton II on a dangerous foul from behind while Payton was in the air going for a layup. 

“Me, personally. I’ve been through a tough knee injury. And I don’t think there’s any malicious intent from Jordan [Poole]. I don’t even think he’s strong enough to affect somebody’s knee but we’re not out there trying to hurt people or trying to club people in the back of the head on a fast break. We play the game the right way,”  said Thompson as quoted by ClutchPoints. 

That being said, the Grizzlies vs Warriors semi-final series has once again taken a huge turn. With Morant injured, an official word is still awaited by many in and around the NBA world. Will the team be able to once again make an upwards surge without their best player, if they have to? Remains to be seen, as this series now has caught the eyes of million all over the globe.
