Kevin Durant and Klay Thompson are both in line for imminent returns, in the wake of the Warriors' 123-109 Game 3 loss on Wednesday night.
Yahoo Sports NBA insider Chris Haynes reported that Klay Thompson will return for Game 4 on Friday. Head coach Steve Kerr had said as much at his postgame press conference.
Thompson, who sustained a hamstring injury in Game 2 on Sunday, missed out on Game 3 for precautionary measures.
Nick Friedell of ESPN went on to shine some light on KD's status.
"The Warriors are cautiously optimistic that Durant also will make his return for Game 4 at Oracle Arena."
With both players making progress, Draymond kept his head held high while mapping out the rest of the series.
"Win the next game, go back to Toronto, win Game 5, come back to Oracle, win Game 6. Celebrate. Fun times ahead."

After undergoing further evaluation of the non-displaced first costal cartilage fracture he suffered in Game 2, Warriors forward Kevon Looney could potentially return during the NBA Finals, league sources told ESPN. More testing will determine next steps for Looney.
