(Reuters) - Golden State guard Klay Thompson was recovering well from a blow to the head that caused headaches and vomiting and should be ready for the NBA Finals against the Cleveland Cavaliers, his father has said.

Thompson suffered concussion-like symptoms after he received a knee in the head during Golden State's Western Conference-clinching victory over the Houston Rockets on Wednesday.

He had bleeding from a cut to his ear and later vomited, forcing his father Mychal -- a former NBA player -- to drive him home, though the elder Thompson said his son was recovering well even if he still needs to pass neurological tests before resuming practice.
