The Golden State Warriors welcomed back one of their franchise icons
The Dallas Mavericks played their first game of the 2024 NBA Cup on Tuesday night against the Golden State Warriors, but the biggest storyline was Klay Thompson's return to San Francisco to play against the team he was with for 13 years. He won four championships while making five All-Star Games as a key cog in their dynasty run from 2015-2022.
The Warriors gave out captain's hats to every fan in attendance as a nod to Thompson's love of boating and taking a boat across the Bay to games. Thompson started the season strong with 22 points against the Spurs but has struggled in his last few games, making just two of his last 13 attempts from three. He hopes to break that slump against his former team.Luka Doncic 'Trying to Figure Out' How to Play With Klay ThompsonAustin Veazey joined NoleGameday as the Lead Basketball Writer in 2019, while contributing as a football writer, and started as editor for MavericksGameday in 2024.
