How Klay Thompson motivated Dragan Bender, Marquese Chriss vs. Suns

Klay Thompson won't play the rest of the season, but he's still trying to help the Warriors.

Thompson watched Golden State in Phoenix on Saturday, cheering on his teammates from the sideline as the eight-man Warriors snapped an eight-game losing streak and beat the Suns. The 30-year-old told The Athletic's Anthony Slater he was able to watch his brother, Trayce Thompson, play in a spring training game in his bid to make the Arizona Diamondbacks.

Whether that was the sole reason for Thompson's trip, the three-time NBA champion played the role of motivational prankster before the Warriors' win.
