“Nothing wrong with that”: Klay Thompson open to fewer minutes on court with Golden State Warriors

Golden State Warriors veteran shooting guard Klay Thompson
has revealed that he is ready for a reduced role in the near future.
The 35-year-old was recently quoted in a report where he
stated that since he is turning 35 next year, he is open to having fewer minutes
on the court.
“Yeah, there’s nothing wrong with that,” he said. “I’ll be
35 next year. At 35, coming off the ACL and an Achilles [tear] and still have
the ability to be a really good player. Maybe not the guy who scored 60 in
three quarters and scored an NBA record 37 points in a quarter, but still a
great threat out there.
“I’ve modeled my game after Reggie [Miller] and Ray [Allen],
and those guys were incredibly effective until their late 30s. So I plan on
kind of following that mold.”
Thompson further went on to heap praise on the team’s
overall performance in the contest against the Utah Jazz. “Strength in numbers, still going strong,” he said. “Stephs
made it look easy but it is hard to carry a load every single night so it is great
when the whole team stands up.”
Warriors went on to secure a much-needed win in the contest
with a score of 129-107 at the Delta Center in Salt Lake City on Monday.
