Steph ‘not ready’ for Klay’s emotional return to Warriors originally appeared on NBC Sports Bay Area
The Warriors have overcome their five-game road trip and can now turn their attention to Klay Thompson’s highly anticipated return to the Bay Area on Tuesday.
But Steph Curry isn’t ready for all the emotions that await him, the Warriors and Dub Nation.
“Don’t do this to me,” Curry said Sunday night on “Warriors Postgame Live” after Golden State’s 127-116 victory over the Oklahoma City Thunder. “Don’t do this to me. I’m not ready for this man yet. It’s going to be a lot to look forward to and I’m excited to see him, obviously as a friend. But I’m trying to keep it all.” of my mental energy for Tuesday, because it’s going to be a lot.”
Thompson’s first game against the Warriors since leaving this summer will be one of the most emotional homecomings in Bay Area history, and Golden State plans to honor the franchise icon with a sailor hat given away to fans and a tribute video .
There won’t be a dry eye watching the pregame festivities as Curry delivers a speech to the Chase Center crowd in honor of his Splash Brother.
Curry knows Tuesday will be tough for everyone involved. Thompson means so much to the Warriors franchise, which made his departure to the Dallas Mavericks so difficult.
But now nothing stands between the Warriors and Thompson’s return, so Curry has no choice but to prepare for whatever awaits in 48 hours.
