Klay Thompson’s status for Game 1 against the Cleveland Cavaliers just got much clearer.
Warriors get good news, as Klay Thompson's agent, Bill Duffy, tells @USATODAYsports the guard cleared tests & did not have concussion.

Thompson fell to the ground in Game 5 against the Rockets after Trevor Ariza kneed him on the side of his head. He didn’t go through the concussion test during the game, but afterwards, the Warriors announced that Thompson began to feel dizzy and vomited (often symptoms of a concussion) and would undergo the appropriate tests.
Luckily for the Warriors, and more importantly for their sharpshooter’s long-term health, Thompson passed. Whether he has any residual effects from the injury remains to be seen, but it seems highly likely that he’ll start the NBA Finals opener next Thursday.
