After 941 days away from the court, Klay Thompson wasted no time getting straight to the hoop. The five-time All-Star and three-time champ puts the whole Association on notice with an emphatic jam for the Golden State Warriors in his blockbuster return to the hardwood following back-to-back season-long injuries. Rather than opting for his trademark catch-and-shoot three, Thompson blows past his man with a crossover on the perimeter and races to the paint for an impressive one-handed flush and two of 17 points on January 9, 2022.
