"The game needs Klay. He's one of best shooters to play this game. Game is art to me. It's fun watching him play. Excited to get him back out there," said teammate, Juan Toscano Anderson, in a Saturday media briefing.

In that same briefing, head coach Steve Kerr did not confirm Thompson's return saying, it's Thompson's announcement to make.

But Kerr did say, "We've known for a long time, the night Klay came back was going to be one of the most emotional games we will ever be a part of."
