Murray makes a triumphant appearance on the court, to his own "ta da", saying to Michael Jordan, "Perhaps I can be of some assistance?" Klay added the text, "How I’m pulling up to chase tomorrow, Bill Murray is my spirit animal. IM SO EXCITED TO SEE YALL DUBNATION ! LETS GET IT"

Thompson has been away from the game for 941 days—two and a half years—recovering from first a torn ACL suffered in the 2019 Finals, and then a ruptured Achilles.

He's been working out with the Warriors' G League team, and more recently with Steph Curry and Co. His return is set for Sunday, at 5:30 local time, 8:30 ET, as the Warriors host the Cleveland Cavaliers.

The Warriors are 29-9, the 2nd best record in the NBA, now they add one of the game's all-time great shooters, reuniting with his Splash Brother, Curry.

Head coach Steve Kerr has already confirmed that Thompson will start; no missing around with coming off the bench. Teammate Andrew Wiggins had a message for the other 29 teams, "the league's going to be in trouble."
