The sight of Klay Thompson limping off the court Tuesday night was a double blow to the Warriors, who can only hope his sprained right ankle isn’t serious enough to keep him out for an extended period.
After scoring a season-high 39 points, Thompson landed on top of Shaun Livingston’s foot with 54.6 seconds left in the Warriors’ 131-123 win over the Pacers in Indianapolis. The fifth-year guard hobbled off the floor and did not return.
The good news for the Warriors is that X-rays performed immediately afterward were negative. There were no fractures to his ankle.
