SAN FRANCISCO -- Klay Thompson is stressing about staying in the moment. After Sunday's practice, the Golden State Warriors star barely even wanted to look ahead to Monday's pivotal Game 5 of the NBA Finals against the Boston Celtics. Instead, he tried to stay locked in on what treatment needed to be done, and what other practice he wanted to do.
But, just for a moment, he let himself escape the present. He didn't look forward, though. He looked back.
Three years ago Monday, Thompson tore his ACL in Game 6 of the NBA Finals against the Toronto Raptors.
