OAKLAND, Calif. -- Golden State Warriors swingman Klay Thompson injured his left knee in the third quarter of Game 6 of the NBA Finals when he landed awkwardly after being fouled from behind on a dunk attempt.
The injury occurred with 2:22 left in the quarter as Thompson went up for a breakaway dunk and was fouled by Toronto Raptors guard Danny Green. Thompson came down hard and instantly grabbed his knee while writhing on the floor in pain.
After a few moments, Thompson got up on his feet and was taken to the locker room with the help of Warriors big men Jonas Jerebko and Jordan Bell on either side of him.
