The news of Thompson's injury came, and everyone's hearts were raised to their throats. Warriors executives immediately rushed to Southern California to accompany Tang Shen for an MRI test. On November 20, Beijing time, the test results were released. The Warriors officially announced that Klay Thompson suffered a tear injury in his right Achilles tendon and is expected to miss the entire 2020-21 season.
The luck of the misfortune, based on the type of his Achilles tendon tear, Clay was told that he was expected to recover completely. Currently, the Warriors can apply for an injury special case, worth about US$9.3 million, which can be used to sign, trade or claim players. The contract period is 1 year. The special case will expire on April 18, 2021, Beijing time.
Two season reimbursements in two years. Tang Shen's left and right legs have been seriously injured now. Many fans are worried that Tang Shen's peak may have passed like this. In the 2018-19 season, Clay averaged 21.5 points, 3.8 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 1 interruption per game, with a three-point shooting percentage of 40.2%. He really doesn't want to play such a wonderful performance, but he was ruined by injuries.
After Tang Shen was injured, many stars and fans sent him blessings. Dad Tang updated his social media and thanked everyone on behalf of God Tang: "Thank you to all those who sent their blessings to Klay. He will come back in the 2021-22 season. Let's wait and see! Everyone has to go through a test in life, and this is just another test for him."
According to God Tang's injury, the Warriors also began to strengthen. In addition to this injury special case, they also have a transaction special case that will expire on November 23, worth $17.2 million. According to famous reporter Shams, the Warriors and the Thunder are close to reaching a deal on Ubud .
Last season, Oubre averaged 18.7 points, 6.4 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 1.3 breaks, with a shooting percentage of 45.2%, and also performed a wonderful performance of George dunking. In 2019, he signed a two-year, $30 million contract with the Suns, with a salary of $15.57 million in the 2020-21 season. The Warriors can just use this special case of injury.
According to the agreement between labor and capital, the luxury tax line for next season will still be $132 million. According to salary expert Bobby Marks, the Warriors' current salary must be paid a luxury tax of 66 million. If the transaction comes to Oubre, their total luxury tax will reach $134 million, and the salary of Oubre alone will bring a growth of 68 million.
However, NBA has also issued new regulations, which will reduce the team's luxury tax accordingly based on the losses in basketball-related income in the 2020-21 season. If basketball revenue is reduced by 30%, the Warriors can save about 50 million in luxury tax after using the trading exception. In addition, the new injury exception can at least make up for the loss of Clay temporarily.
After selecting James Wiseman at draft , the team reporter Monte Poole reported that the Warriors are still following at least four insiders in the free market. There was also news that the Warriors are also interested in Aldridge . I hope to see a Warrior with better configuration when Clay returns.
