LeBron and Klay certainly have had words on the court in the past, but the two did team up for the major motion picture "Space Jame 2" back in 2021.

Draymond Green lost sleep because he was so excited for Saturday's announcement of Klay's official return date, and shared a touching message to Thompson on the Warriors' social channels Sunday morning.
It will be an emotional night at Chase Center, and one that Warriors fans have been looking forward to for over two years.
You can catch NBC Sports Bay Area's full coverage of Klay's first game back Sunday evening beginning at 4 p.m. PT with a special extended edition of Warriors Pregame Live.
