Klay Thompson on Benching in Warriors' Loss to Suns: 'I've Been Playing Like Crap'

Golden State Warriors star Klay Thompson reacted Tuesday night to being benched during crunch time of a 119-116 loss to the Phoenix Suns.

According to Anthony Slater of The Athletic, Thompson said it felt "strange" to be on the bench late in a close game, but added that he "deserved" to be benched, noting: "I've been playing like crap."

Thompson also made it clear that he didn't begrudge head coach Steve Kerr for making the decision, saying: "I trust Steve. I trust Steve now and forever will."
