Golden State Warriors at NBA Finals 2020: What to Expect?
The Warriors have suffered a lot when it comes to this years’ tournament. They lost two of their key players to injuries as both Klay Thompson and Kevin Durant are out.
In the last game of the season, Klay Thompson suffered a torn ACL injury which means he is out for at least the next few months while another big name in their camp, Kevin Durant, who suffered a ruptured Achilles Tendon will be out for at least a year – which means it won’t be possible for him to return till mid-2020.
