Clay Thompson suffered a right leg injury working out in Southern California today and will undergo test.

The severity of the injury is not known.

Thompson had been making his way back from an A C L tear in his left leg.

He suffered the 2019 finals and cost him all of last season.

Let's bring in Adrian Ward Yanovsky with much more on this story.

What more can you tell us?

What about this injury?

Kevin Clay Thompson was working out in Southern California today when, when he suffered what was described to me is a lower right leg injury on he's going toe.

Undergo tests here in the next few days.

I'm told it is immediately unclear the severity off the issue of the injury.

Now he It was his left a c l that he missed all of the 2019 and 2000 and 20 season, the injury he had suffered, uh, in the previous n b A Finals.

But right now that they're still waiting to get a sense of how serious this injury might be.

Kevin Well, it's the big story.

Of course.

The Timberwolves are on the clock and a draft that is really unknown in the top three.

The Warriors pic number two.

How could this injury impact what the Warriors do tonight?

I think it's too early to tell Kevin.

They don't know what they have, certainly with this injury with Clay Thompson.

But certainly understand when you're drafting a teenager at the top of the draft, it's a It's a long view, not based off a ninja ary in the short term.

But listen, if they're very serious about Lemelle, lowball it, too.

If he's there.

James Weissman.

They were still working through those working through those today, so remains to be seen how it's gonna impact them tonight in the draft.

Okay, woes from the draft room as we get ready for the N ba virtual draft right here on the campus of ESPN, let's go to say again, Whoa, uh, keeping track of breaking news from all different angles here with us on SportsCenter.

Hey, standing by if need be.

Also standing by now live is our Stephen A.

Smith and Stephen A.

Less than an hour ago, you and I were here on SportsCenter talking about what the Warriors should do with that number two overall pick.

We're talking about the big man, James Wiseman and how great of a fit he'd be with, ah, healthy Clay Thompson.

Steph Curry, Draymond Green as watch said, You heard him.

We don't know that much right now, but your first reaction when you hear an injury to a leg of Clay Thompson, what do you say?

This is nightmarish.

This is nightmarish.

All championship hopes are out the window.

You need both.

You can't have clay without stuff.

You can't have stuff without Clay and talk championship.

You could talk playoffs.

You could talk excitement.

You could talk box office appeal, but you can't talk championship having one without the other.

You need both of them.

This is the greatest shooting backcourt we have ever seen in the history of basketball.

Do you know that Clay Thompson has never shot less than 40% from three point range in his career ever?

That's who we're talking about here.

We constantly talking about the two time M V P that is Steph Curry.

We constantly recognize him because he could shoot off the dribble, not just standing still with a set up shot.

It's off the dribble.

He could create his own shot better than Clay Thompson.

We constantly call him the greatest shooter ever.

Let's understand something his backcourt make picked up.

It is one of the toe to the history of Apple.

I'm coming.

Reggie Miller, Ray Allen, Allan Houston, Downtown Freddie Brown from the Seattle SuperSonics in the seventies.

For crying out loud.

Ricky Pierce, Dale Ellis, Dell Curry.

I don't give a damn what shooting you find.

Clay Thompson is one of the top five shooters in the history of basketball.

And for this man to keep coming off in a C l agree on his left leg to now maybe have injured his right leg.

Uh, it Oh, I'm very worried.

I'm hoping, I hope.

But I'm very worried because I'm a fan of watching these brothers play, and I don't want to see either of them hurt.

I don't want to see either of them gone, and I'm very worried right now, period.

So that's why use the word nightmarish.

And, of course, even if you're not a warriors fan, just the watching the product that they produce for so many years there together that says it all we do need to continue to point out.

Yes, it was that left leg on which he tour that a c l and the finals in 2020 19.

I forget what year it is.

2019.

The injury that we're reporting now that was just reporting is lower right leg.

Either way, it doesn't sound like great news.

It still leg injury.

And then you wonder, because potential overcompensation as you're trying to heal that a c l.

In the meantime, the words have to focus on that.

They sell the stuff on the draft to write Stephen, and they have business to do it.

Number two tonight, but back.

No, it doesn't change anything.

It doesn't change anything with the draft.

Say you still take James Wiseman.

You still take the seven footer who is an athletic, an athlete who could rebound, who could run the floor.

Who's a presence at the basket to pair with Draymond Hill because you gotta Andrew Wiggins and because you still have Wiggins who?

Joe Lake up The owner, the CEO for the Golden State Warriors, came on first take told me this morning he's still high on.

I don't know why considering the inconsistency of Wiggins, but that's neither here nor there.

I'll be nice tonight.

We'll talk about that another day.

Bottom line.

If anything happens to Clay, you still need another guard or guard slash small forward.

To put in the backcourt that can guard some threes is, well, it's, um, tools toe play alongside Steph Curry.

They'd be a playoff team.

They'll be.

They'll make some noise.

We have no questions about that, but in terms of championship, because before this past season, five straight years they went to the finals.

In terms of championship, there is no championship.

Without clay, there is no championship Without Steph, you need both or no championship.

It's just that simple.
