This picture is the lasting memory in my mind of Klay Thompson of the Golden State Warriors.  In Game 6 of the NBA Finals, he went down with a torn ACL in his knee.

Bad news for the team (they lost and lost the championship).  Bad news for Klay, as he was set to co-star with LeBron James in "Space Jam 2."

Or so we thought.

TMZ Sports caught the Warriors star arriving on the set on a pair of crutches, getting a hug from star and producer LeBron James.

Co-stars Damian Lillard and Anthony Davis were also on set, along with Thompson's teammate Draymond Green.  They were reportedly filming a scene set at the NBA All-Star Game.

Is it possible that Klay can somehow still be in the movie?

THAT would be some kind of CGI!
