After the brutal ACL injury during the NBA 2018-19 Finals, Thompson made an exit from the season. The unfortunate incident occurred during game 6 of the NBA 2018-19 Finals when the Toronto Raptors got to take home their first franchise championship win. But the good thing is that Thompson is recovering quickly now.
In a recent video, Thompson was seen walking with the help of a single crutch, hugging James.

When will Space Jam 2 release?
The movie is set to release on 16 July 2021. The filming of the movie is still underway. The basketball stars will have to manage the filming schedules along with the training camps. It is also the reason why some of the stars refused to join the movie, including NBA 2019 MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo.
