Warriors-Jazz pregame: Klay OUT + other details

[Free article; bonus video for paid subscribers]

Quick pregame notes before I go live on our YouTube channel with the game commentary:

• Klay Thompson is out for the game tonight. It’s a “little tweak” of the knee in the surgically repaired one, a tweak noticed by Rick Celebrini during walkthrough earlier today. More details from Steve Kerr in the pregame video, clickable at the top of this article.

• Jordan Poole walked into Chase Center sporting a San Francisco 49ers medallion. Did the Milwaukee, Wisconsin native lose a bet? We’ll see if any tidbits surface.

• Tom Tolbert is being honored tonight at the arena. Kerr had some jokes pregame. More on this later in my usual recap video.

• James Wiseman was seen with Poole on the court pregame. That’s something, right? Kerr was asked about Wiseman in the pregame.

NOTE: Still didn’t have time to squeeze in the Klay Celebration Raffle/Giveaway inventory database post, nor the Ongoing Topics that would catch us up over the past few pregame and postgame interviews/analysis. Those will post soon, I promise.
