Officials reviewed the sequence shortly after but determined it was a common foul.

Thompson was helped off the court and was seemingly on his way to the dressing room when he came back out onto the court to shoot his two free throws.

He sunk both and was shortly pulled from the court and taken back through to the tunnel for treatment.

Early in the fourth quarter, Warriors staff announced Thompson would not return. It was later reported Thompson suffered a torn ACL.
