0:00.0	Welcome to Locked-on Warriors, your daily podcast on All Things Warriors, part of the Locked-on Podcast Network.
0:05.4	I'm Wes Goldberg, Warriors Beat Reporter for the Mercury News, and Clay Thompson is officially out for the season.
0:12.0	I'll talk about what this means for Clay and where the Warriors go from here. That's coming up next.
0:17.9	You are Locked-on Warriors, your daily Golden State Warriors podcast, part of the
0:23.9	Locked-on Podcast Network, your team every day.
0:33.1	Devastating news out of Golden State, Clay Thompson will miss all of next season after tearing

1:24.9	It is so hard to ask players who haven't played in so long to get,
1:29.6	to kind of do a shortened training camp, a shortened preseason, and be ready in time for the
1:35.0	regular season. And so I do wonder if Clay was going a little bit too hard in this pickup
1:40.1	game in Los Angeles that he was playing with some other NBA players.
1:46.7	I don't mean to blame the NBA for this.
1:53.0	It's an unintended consequence, but this is the sort of thing that you risk when you push the start of the season up so quickly.
