Sacramento Kings forward Keegan Murray defends Golden State Warriors guard Klay Thompson in the first quarter in a preseason NBA basketball game in Sacramento, Calif., Sunday, Oct. 4, 2023. The Warriors and Klay Thompson are reportedly not close to an agreement on a contract extension as the former All-NBA guard prepares to open his 13th season with Golden State on Tuesday night.
Thompson signed a five-year, $190 million contract in 2019 just after tearing his ACL in the NBA Finals. He missed the 2019-20 season, then tore his Achilles before the 2020-21 season and returned in January 2022. After helping the Warriors win their fourth title in the last decade, he played no pick-up ball in the offseason over injury concerns, and skipped the preseason slate last year.“I loved it,” he said Sunday of his preseason. “I was playing basketball.
On media day Oct. 3, Thompson said he thought it was possible that he’d reach a deal with the Warriors before the season opener, but signaled he was at peace entering the season without anything signed. “It’s been deep my whole career. I see a bunch of great teams from top to bottom,” he said. “There probably will not be any nights off going forward, so it’s going to be a fun challenge to accept.”Miss Manners: The bride's dress code for wedding guests strikes me as pretentiousOakland man allegedly made $20 fentanyl deal in San Francisco.
