Golden State Warriors star Draymond Green snapped back at a reporter who asked him about the three-year anniversary of teammate Klay Thompson’s ACL injury in the 2019 NBA Finals.

Thompson’s journey back from the ACL injury and later the Achilles injury to this year’s Finals has been one of the overarching storylines in the series against the Boston Celtics. But on Sunday, as the Warriors ramped up to get ready for a pivotal Game 5, Green didn’t want to hear anything about it.

"It’s unnecessary. We’re here in this moment. There’s no need to talk about something that’s unfortunate that happened three years ago. We’re here in this moment, we’re gonna stay in this moment, we’re gonna think positive thoughts, and we’re gonna move forward," Green said.

"It’s been great to see where he is and the level he’s back playing at. But there’s no need for us to talk about moments that we don’t want to re-live from three years ago."

Thompson was also asked about the injury in 2019. He only returned to the court in January. He told reporters he was just trying to stay present and not look too far ahead.
