With the start of training camp and the NBA preseason nearing, players around the league are back in the gym getting ready. After touring China with Kevon Looney and Anta, Klay Thompson returned to the gym for a workout with an impressive young guard from the Indiana Pacers.
Under the eye of trainer Charlie Max Torres, Thompson worked out with Pacers sophomore guard Bennedicth Mathurin. Thompson and Mathurin traded tough buckets as the two guards went back and forth in a series of one-on-one drills against each other.
