Thompson makakalaro sa game 1

MAAYOS na ang kalagayan ni Golden State Warriors guard Klay Thompson kaya naman masaya ang coach na si Steve Kerr.

Umigi ang lagay ni Western Conference All-Star guard Thompson matapos malaman ang neurological tests sa kanya at dahil matagal pa bago ang umpisa ng 2014-15 National Basketball Association (NBA) Finals ay makapagpahinga ito ng ilang araw.

‘’This break has turned out to be good for us,’’ wika ni Warriors coach Steve Kerr matapos ang Friday practice nila. ‘’And maybe good for Cleveland, too, because they’ve got some injuries. It’s just something we’ve got to work through and we’ll see how it goes.’’

Sa June 4 ang Game 1 ng kanilang best-of-seven series kung saan ay sa Golden State ang laro.

Bumagal ng bahagya at ilang larong hindi humawak ng bola si Cavaliers guard Kyrie Irving dahil sa kanyang knee tendinitis at sore foot habang si four-time NBA MVP LeBron James ay may nararamdaman ding sakit ng katawan.

“For a lot of our guys that have been banged up, including myself, to get some rest and be able to get back to as close to full strength as possible,’’ wika ni basketball superstar James. ‘’I don’t think we’ll be able to get there, but as close as possible, and I’m going to do a lot of shooting this week to kind of get my shot back on point, where it was kind of missing the last round.’’

Sa fourth quarter ng Game 5, pumeke si Thompson at lumipad si Ariza.

Lumanding ang tuhod ni Ariza sa ulo ni Thompson at Ilang sandali ring nanatiling nakahiga ang huli bago naglakad papasok ng locker room at bumalik sa bench matapos tahiin ang sugat sa tainga.

‘’I just do what the doctors say we should do,’’ ani Kerr. ‘’Obviously, we want to be as careful as possible and make sure our players are safe and sound and healthy. So we’ll follow this protocol that the league provides and we’ll have Klay out here when he’s ready.’’

Samantala, dalawang sunod na hahawakan ng Warriors ang home court advantage bago sila dadayo sa Cleveland para laruin ang Games 3 at 4. (ARABELA PRINCESS DAWA)
