Thompson has been commuting to Chase Center across the Bay by boat for practices and some games and credits the experience with helping him recover from career-threatening Achilles and knee injuries.
"I can't believe I'm here especially considering where I was at this time last year," Thompson told reporters after Friday’s Game 4 win against the Celtics in Boston.
