Klay Thompson (ankle) expected to play in Game 2, sources say

Golden State Warriors guard Klay Thompson is expected to play in Game 2 of the NBA Finals, sources told ESPN's Ramona Shelburne.

"Klay will warm up and we'll see," said Warriors coach Steve Kerr. "But he was doing better this morning when he checked in with the training staff, so I'm hopeful that he will play."

Thompson was listed as questionable with a high left ankle sprain entering Sunday's game. He sustained the injury in Golden State's Game 1 win, when Cavaliers guard JR Smith inadvertently undercut his left leg while trying to pick off a pass.
