Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr said All-Star shooting guard Klay Thompson is likely going to miss the entire 2019-20 NBA season as he recovers from a torn ACL.
Kerr told NBC Sports Bay Area the Dubs must "prepare" to play the entire campaign without the sharpshooter, even though they've previously left the door open for a late-season return.
"It's unlikely that he's going to play this year," Kerr said. "So we have to understand that."
He added: "You have to look at it realistically. I had an ACL [tear] in college, and I missed a whole season.
