Durant: Thompson slept through practice prior to 60-point game

Golden State Warriors guard Klay Thompson slept through practice the day before scoring a career-high 60 points in a 2016 game, according Kevin Durant.

Thompson's performance came during a 142-106 victory over the Indiana Pacers on Dec. 5, 2016. "Oh, so like the [day] before he had 60, Klay just missed practice. He didn't come," Durant said on the Bill Simmons podcast. "He just ... nobody like, you know when practice starts, it was like, 'Where the hell is Klay?' We called him, called him, called him.
