THE Golden State Warriors have found someone to fill the void left by injured Klay Thompson.
The Warriors are acquiring small forward Kelly Oubre from the Oklahoma City Thunder for a protected 2021 first-round pick.
Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reported the transaction on Friday, Manila time on the same day the Warriors found out Thompson tore his Achilles tendon during a private workout that will force him to miss the entire season.
Oubre is on the move for the second time in a week after the Phoenix Suns packaged him in a trade with the Thunder for Chris Paul last Tuesday, Manila time.
The 24-year-old Oubre had a breakout year with Suns last season, averaging 18.7 points, 6.4 boards, and 1.5 assists before he tore the meniscus in his right knee that ended his season in February.
