Thompson's former Golden State colleagues have sent him a video greeting ahead of his first meeting with them as an opponent.
New Dallas Mavericks swingman Klay Thompson is heading home on Tuesday night. In the first game of 2024 Emirates NBA Cup play this season, Thompson's 5-5 Mavericks will travel to San Francisco's Chase Center, where the team will square off against the club with whom he had spent all 11 of his prior healthy NBA seasons.
He is no longer his All-Defensive Team self, and thus has to be carefully used in tandem with fellow defensive sieves Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving.Backup swingman Naji Marshall, basically brought on to be Derrick Jones Jr.'s replacement, is a far more complete player at this stage in their respective careers, and has accordingly cut into Thompson's minutes.Thompson is averaging 13.8 points on .418/.354/1.000 shooting splits, 3.7 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 0.
