Manny Pacquiao Wants To Teach Warriors Star Klay Thompson “How To Fight”

The Golden State Warriors are having a rough time with injuries and roster changes. It all started with their star player Klay Thompson getting benched in 2019 due to an injury. Ever since then, Steph Curry is heading the team without his Splash partner.

Klay, who suffered a serious ACL injury two seasons back, is probably making a comeback in the 2021-22 season. The 3-time NBA champion was spotted back in training and rebuilding his form. Well, this time, Klay has a famous gym partner – Manny Pacquiao.
