The training camp for the 2020-21 NBA season is scheduled to kick off from 1st December onwards and it is unclear if Thompson will be available from the first day of the camp, as the team is yet to provide an update on the intensity of the injury and the estimated recovery period.
Thompson had a tear in his ACL during the sixth game of the NBA Finals against Toronto Raptors on 13th June 2019 and had missed the entirety of the 2019-20 season for his rehab.
The latest injury is a major setback for both Thompson, who had just completed the recovery in his left leg and was set to bounce back this season, as well as for Warriors, who may now have to wait for even more to see the revered shooter back in the squad.
The 2020-21 NBA season will commence from 22nd December.
