Thompson’s agent Greg Lawrence told ESPN that his client suffered the ACL injury following Golden State’s 114-110 loss to the Toronto Raptors in Game 6 of the NBA Finals.
Golden State’s defeat to newly crowned champions Toronto – who sealed a 4-2 series win – was overshadowed by another serious injury after Kevin Durant ruptured his Achilles in Game 5.
Thompson suffered the injury in the third quarter on a breakaway – Toronto’s Danny Green went up to contest the shot and the Warriors star was thrown off balance on his way down and appeared to tweak his knee.
He stayed down for a minute and initially went to the locker room. Thompson returned to throw two free throws before he was later ruled out of the game by the Warriors with a left knee injury.
Thompson – who was seen on crutches as he left Oracle Arena – had 30 points before the injury.
