OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) -- Golden State guard Klay Thompson has a concussion after getting kneed in the side of the head by Houston's Trevor Ariza.
Thompson was injured after he faked a shot and Ariza knocked him to the floor with a knee to the head in the fourth quarter of Game 5 of the Western Conference finals Wednesday night.
Thompson received stitches in his right ear and passed a concussion test during the game that would have allowed him to return. The Warriors did not need him as they won the game 104-90 to clinch the series.
