Klay Thompson makes triumphant return to Warriors after grueling two-and-a-half-year absence
CNN
After 941 days away from the game, it took Klay Thompson just 40 seconds to exorcise the demons of a torrid, injury-ridden absence.
The five-time All-Star shooting guard -- back on court for the first time since tearing his ACL in Game Six of the NBA Finals in 2019 -- made up for lost time by scoring the Golden State Warriors' first two points of the game in their victory over the Cleveland Cavaliers on Wednesday.
Thompson rattled off 17 points in just 20 minutes to set the Warriors on course for a 96-82 win, snapping a two-game losing skid and lifting the team to a 30-9 season record -- joint top of the Western Conference with the Phoenix Suns.

The alleged drug traffickers killed by the US military in a strike on September 2 were heading to link up with another, larger vessel that was bound for Suriname — a small South American country east of Venezuela – the admiral who oversaw the operation told lawmakers on Thursday according to two sources with direct knowledge of his remarks.

The two men killed as they floated holding onto their capsized boat in a secondary strike against a suspected drug vessel in early September did not appear to have radio or other communications devices, the top military official overseeing the strike told lawmakers on Thursday, according to two sources with direct knowledge of his congressional briefings.
