Warriors veteran sharpshooter Klay Thompson had a terse exchange with a reporter who seemed to question his continued playing time.
During a media availability session on Monday, Thompson was asked by a reporter about the patience coach Steve Kerr gives his veteran starters even as they go through struggles. While the question was not directly critical of Thompson, it wasn’t hard to read between the lines, given the 33-year-old shooting guard is shooting a career-worst percentage both from the field and from three.
“You want me to bench me?” Thompson asked the reporter. When the reporter responded that he didn’t say that, Thompson replied “You can suggest it, it’s fine.”
