Warriors Able to Handle Short-Term Loss of Thompson

Andre Iguodala and Brandon Rush split the minutes at the 2 with Thompson out.

A bastion of health for most of his career, Thompson has missed six regular-season games in his first four NBA seasons combined. His most notable injury came during the Warriors' 2015 playoff run, when he took a knee to the head from Trevor Ariza and suffered a concussion—an injury that did not cost him a single game.

The Warriors were fine without Thompson, as they were able to stay unbeaten with a win over the Nets.
