Warriors’ Klay Thompson ruled out for Celtics game

Warriors guard Klay Thompson has been ruled out of Tuesday night’s game against the Celtics with right knee soreness.

Thompson banged his knee hard on the floor during Thursday’s loss to Orlando, but he didn’t start feeling pain until he awoke Friday morning. Thompson, whose MRI came back clean, is set to miss his second straight game with the injury. His absence Tuesday should free up more opportunity for Damion Lee, Quinn Cook, Alfonzo McKinnie, Shaun Livingston and Andre iguodala.

Center Kevon Looney (right pelvic soreness) has also been ruled out for Tuesday. He underwent an MRI on Sunday, which revealed pelvic inflammation.
