Thompson suffered concussion-like symptoms after he received
a knee in the head during Golden State's Western
Conference-clinching victory over the Houston Rockets on
Wednesday.
He had bleeding from a cut to his ear and later vomited, forcing
his father Mychal -- a former NBA player -- to drive him home,
though the elder Thompson said his son was recovering well even
if he still needs to pass neurological tests before resuming
practice.
"He's looking like his old self, he has a healthy appetite again
and that's always a good sign," Mychal told the San Jose Mercury
News. "He's looking forward to getting back to work as soon as
possible." The Warriors, who are returning to the Finals for the
first time since 1975, are scheduled to resume practice on
Friday, with the series set to begin on June 4.
