There is a new holiday in the Bay Area.
With Klay Thompson set to make his long-awaited injury comeback against the Cleveland Cavaliers on Sunday, Jan. 9 has been dubbed “Klay Day.”
Sunday’s game against the Cavaliers will mark the first time Thompson has donned since sustaining knee and Achilles tendon injuries that kept him from playing for two seasons.
To celebrate Klay Day and Thompson’s return, members of the Warriors showed their support with a special outfit by heading to the Chase Center in San Francisco. When they arrived at the arena on Sunday, each of Thompson’s teammates wore a different edition of their No.11 jersey.
