After a successful career with the Golden State Warriors, where he won four NBA championships alongside Stephen Curry and Draymond Green, Klay Thompson decided to seek a change of scenery by signing with the Dallas Mavericks.
Klay Thompson is now focused on his new stint with the Mavericks and helping the team achieve its goals. Although his performance has not met expectations so far, Thompson’s talent and experience remain valuable assets for the team.
While Thompson’s return to Golden State Warriors is sure to be an emotional moment, the player has acknowledged that his relationship with his former teammates is not the same. In a recent interview, Thompson admitted that contact with Curry and Green has significantly diminished since his departure.
According to Marc J. Spears of Andscape, the iconic trio hasn’t maintained regular communication since Thompson left the Warriors. When asked if they’ve stayed in touch, Thompson replied, “I’m locked-in. Not really. I will see them when I see them. That’s it.”
