Steve Kerr Offers An Update On Klay Thompson
During the NBA Finals in 2019, Klay Thompson suffered an ACL injury that ultimately kept him out of the Warriors lineup for the entire season. As a result of his injury, the Warriors were abysmal on the court, especially with Steph Curry breaking his hand early on. Regardless, Thompson has opted to take his time with his injury and has made sure to not rush back before he actually needs to.
In a recent interview with the media, Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr spoke about Thompson and what his progress has been like since coming back to practice. As Kerr said, it’s been a slow burn and that the Warriors don’t want to push him too hard as it could result in re-injury.

“We’re taking it really slow with Klay,” Kerr said. “He’s basically taking part in all of practice other than the scrimmage. We did other drills that were live. We did some defensive drills, 5-on-5, more of a controlled scrimmage that he took part in. But at the end of practice scrimmage, we had him doing some 1-on-1 stuff with Leandro (Barbosa). That is the preferable sequence right now.”
Next season, the Warriors have a chance to get back to the top of the Western Conference and their only chance to do so is if everyone is completely healthy.

The Real Mack The Knife honors memory and spirit with soulful release “Rio Grande de Loíza”
The song “Rio Grande de Loíza” by The Real Mack The Knife is a powerful tribute to Puerto Rico’s history, memory, and sacred spirit. The track transforms nature into something spiritual, intimate, and timeless, inspired by the legendary river and Julia de Burgos’ immortal voice.
The song “Rio Grande de Loíza” has an old, alive vibe from the beginning. River water, moonlight, desire, and cultural memory shape a song that seems to rise from the ground. The Real Mack The Knife uses the river as a living, symbolic being, unlike the original work.
Julia de Burgos gives the piece incredible depth. She sees the river as a witness, a mother, a wound, a mirror, and a prayer throughout the song’s emotional landscape. The literary and spiritual connection gives the track a haunting beauty beyond music.
