CW: Yours Truly
Klay Thompson’s been through a lot - not one, but two career-ending injuries. And he’s been gone for a while - 941 days, to be precise. 

Our film, which aired during Klay’s first playoff (and subsequently Finals) run back since his injuries, looked to redefine what winning was for Klay during his time away, and his recovery journey with Kaiser Permanente. 

Awards: Clio Sports, Film - Bronze
