Given time to replicate, nevertheless, Thompson has chilled out and determined that an apology was so as, taking to Instagram to put in writing:

He may additionally have been moved by Singh’s look and banner at Golden State’s sport final evening towards the Lakers:
It is a disgrace, as a result of whereas his scores disagreement was certainly pissy, his promoter feedback had been strong! For these I might have appreciated to see Klay do the identical factor I might inform any of you to do in the identical scenario:
Ah nicely. A minimum of it’s a great apology. Probably the greatest I’ve ever seen within the social media age, truly!
