Not another one.
First, it was Kevin Durant suffering a calf injury. Then it was Andre Iguodala.
And now, Klay Thompson. The Warriors can't catch a break.
Thompson became the latest member of Golden State to be removed from a playoff game with an apparent leg injury when he was pulled early in the fourth quarter of Game 2 of the NBA Finals against the Raptors on Sunday night.
Thompson appeared to suffer the injury after landing awkwardly on a 3-point attempt.
Holy crap was that an awkward landing by Klay. Lucky he's okay. pic.twitter.com/r20e70Kujq — BBALLBREAKDOWN (@bballbreakdown) June 3, 2019

Thompson went to the bench shortly thereafter, and proceeded to go straight into the Warriors' locker room.

He was ruled out for the duration of the game with hamstring tightness.
After the game, Warriors coach Steve Kerr told reporters that Thompson said he'd be fine, but Kerr quipped that "Klay could be half dead and say he's fine."
Thompson told Yahoo Sports' Chris Haynes he doesn't envision himself missing Game 3 on Wednesday.
Klay Thompson (left hamstring tightness) will not return to tonight's game.
