Klay Thompson suffers concussion

Do Not Sell My Personal Information
Interesting,,,,

Mychal Thompson told Mike & Mike that Klay shut down 2-3 days. "Just sitting on the couch with his dog, Rocco, laying back relaxing."

I'm pretty sure he has to, and likely will have to for even longer. Not sure how the NBA protocol deals with team practice, but I think he'll at least have to be limited to what he can participate in until he's given an all clear.
 
I said it after the Curry injury, but there's going to be some fines handed out in the Bay Area.

Just wait til you find out that Curry did suffer a concussion and they purposely hid the fact so they could keep playing him.

It'll come out sometime before the beginning of next season, but it'll barely be mentioned in the media.

Glad they couldn't hide the Klay Thompson one.

I don't see that at all. The fall Curry took was scary as hell, but it looked like the major hit he took was on his shoulders, and his head didn't really BANG into the court. I think if there were any signs of a concussion whatsoever, he wouldn't come back in the game. But considering how quickly they gave him the all clear, I just think it was nothing more than a scary fall, and he protected himself very well from actually getting injured. Unlike Thompson who took a knee to the temple like a freakin' MMA fight.

They gave Thompson the all clear pretty quickly, too. Then blood started pouring from his ear....
 
If only people cared about the NBA being responsible with concussions as much as they do the NFL... Different standards, same injury.

At least Klay's dad didn't go nuclear like dear Colt McCoy's.
 
Sure he did. His head and neck hit the floor at the same time. He came back in the game and threw up an airball too.

I heard Dorris Burke on NBA radio. She said when she was outside the locker room and the Warriors PR guy said Klay had a air laceration, she asked if they tested for concussion and was told they didn't need to. The same guy called her on the way to the airport to change the story to they tested him before he was cleared to return and he was fine. The question is was he given incomplete information or was he covering their ass with the new story.

He was also throwing up on the way home from the game. Concussions are a serious thing, especially if you get a second concussion before the first one heals.

Fuck that.

I don't want to listen to any of these media babies have an "out" when the Cavs beat Golden State.

You really want to listen to someone like Bayless get on his stump and talk about how the Cavs would have lost to the Warriors if "X" player wouldn't have gotten hurt?

I want them to line up all their guys and have us beat them. So all the idiots like Skip can STFU for the rest of their lives.

I'm past this "give me a title no matter how we get it" stuff. Give me a title that I can shove up the media's ass.
Why do you ever bother to listen to these morons? They do this stuff on purpose to drive ratings and $$$$.

Agree 100%! Curry was clearly concussed when he came back in the game. Red eyes, drooping head. Kid looked out of it.
 
The Warriors really screwed this up. They're now drawing intense and deserved scrutiny for their lax concussion protocol, which, if nothing else, will earn them a hefty fine. Beyond that, the league is now under pressure to not clear Klay until he is absolutely, positively 100%. He'll probably be fine, but you never know. This shit can linger.
 
As someone who had a concussion within last 6 months symptoms can definately linger for several weeks.

All joking aside. Ive had 4 concussions that were diagnosed (with a few that I never told people about). Its no joke. He wont be all there come Game 1.
 
Mike Miller returned to play within 2 weeks. doubt klay will miss time.. its the finals dude.
 
I don't even know why you would risk the kids career. They were winning the game handily.

If I was Curry, I'd be getting a secobd opinion right now.
