Speaking about his Achilles tendon injury in the interview, Klay said: “I couldn’t play for six months because I loved basketball too much to be able to compete with my teammates, and I felt heartbroken for a long time, since I was a kid, basketball was my first love, and when I got hurt, it felt like my first love was taken away from me, and it was really hard, and I was lost during that time, and I couldn’t find my true self. Because my connection to basketball is so strong.”

Talking about coming back from injury to win the NBA championship again with the Warriors, Klay said: “I think it is more difficult to climb to the top again, because after you fall from the top, if you are healthy, you may have a chance the next year.” Before I tried to reach that peak again, I had an injury and I wasn’t sure if I would ever be able to get back to that athleticism, but now that I’ve been through that injury and come back stronger, and after everything that’s happened to me, it’s a good test for me to help the team win again.” ‘said Klay.
