Warriors guard Thompson will miss game three of NBA Finals due to injury
06 June 2019
Warriors coach Steve Kerr said it would be a game-time decision about Thompson, with the major concern being the possibility of the 29-year-old guard doing more damage to the hamstring if he played with the best-of-seven final level at 1-1. The only player with a longer active streak of playoff appearances for his team is Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James at 239.Thompson, averaging 19.5 points in the playoffs, was listed day-to-day after an MRI exam showed him with a mild left hamstring strain.“He's making a very strong case. He wants to play no matter what,” Kerr said. “We'll see what the trainer's assessment is.
Kevin Durant, Golden State's top playoff scorer with 34.2 points a game, was ruled out of game three on Tuesday.
