Klay Thompson Returns to Golden State for Emotional Reunion with Warriors

Posted : 13 November 2024

Klay Thompson stood on the Chase Center court, visibly moved as he watched a tribute video prepared by the Golden State Warriors to honor him. It was his first time returning to play against his former team, and the moment was emotional. Stephen Curry, his long-time teammate, stood by the tunnel, seeking some space to avoid being overwhelmed by the emotions of the night.

 

Warriors head coach Steve Kerr spoke about Thompson's influence, noting the connection he had built with the fans over the years. For Thompson, the captain's hat was a fitting tribute, and he relished the moment, grateful for the fans' support and the familiar faces in the stands. He described the experience as heartwarming, something he would never take for granted, and emphasized how special it was to see the outpouring of gratitude from the Bay Area fans.

 

The pregame ceremony had been special, and Thompson admitted that facing Golden State for the first time felt "surreal." The competitive dynamics between Thompson and Curry were evident from the start, particularly during the opening possession when Thompson was fouled while posting up Curry. Thompson made the free throws and went on to score 22 points in the game, including six 3-pointers, one of which he celebrated with Curry's signature shoulder shimmy.

 

The game saw Thompson heat up in the fourth quarter, helping the Mavericks briefly take a seven-point lead. His flurry of points included a key 3-pointer, a go-ahead layup, and another 3-pointer in transition. However, Curry responded with a dominant performance down the stretch, scoring 12 points in the final minutes, including a step-back 3-pointer over Mavericks centre Dereck Lively II to seal the win.
