Klay Thompson knew something had happened when he landed awkwardly on his left knee late in Game 6 of the NBA Finals. Having never had a serious injury, he had no idea what he was dealing with.
“I didn’t think it was that bad, initially,” Thompson told ESPN‘s Cari Champion on Thursday in his first in-depth interview since his injury.
“My adrenaline was so high being Game 6, whatever. I thought I sprained my knee. That’s all I thought it was.”
If only.
“When I went back to the locker room, it swelled up a lot, didn’t feel right,” Thompson said.
