In what proved to a remarkable scene, Thompson injured his leg and needed help from a pair of teammates to limp down the tunnel. Then, just a couple of minutes later, Thompson returned to the floor to shoot free throws. He had originally been injured when Danny Green fouled him during a layup attempt.

Here's Klay Thompson needing help just to get off the court, going down the hall, slowly starting to be able to walk under his own power, then reversing course to go shoot those FT's. This is amazing. pic.twitter.com/1TawOxhGBk

Thompson knocked down both free throws before the Warriors committed a foul to get Thompson off the floor and back to the locker room. Here's the sequence in which Thompson got hurt.
