ESPN broadcaster Jeff Van Gundy, good for at least one grumpy segment per game, went on a cranky mini-rant on Wednesday about the Golden State Warriors' plan to reintegrate Klay Thompson.
During the third quarter of the Warriors' loss to the Dallas Mavericks, ESPN play-by-play man Dave Pasch mentioned that Thompson was most likely to return to action this coming Sunday, Jan. 9, against the Cleveland Cavaliers — but if the Dubs don't clear Thompson for that contest, they won't have another Chase Center game until Jan. 18.
That detail is relevant because, as has been widely reported for a while, the Golden State organization would prefer Thompson make his triumphant return from two devastating injuries at home, rather than on the road.
