Our guy Klay Thompson is no longer a Golden State Warrior, but he’s back in the building at Chase Center as an enemy Dallas Maverick. Let the emotions flow folks, from the floor that Thompson sweat and bled on for years,

Klay Thompson exited the team bus then beamed as he strolled back into Chase Center, greeted by some 400 cheering Warriors employees showing their love and appreciation for the former Golden State star and lined up lined up along his path to the Dallas locker room.

After an April 2022 game when Thompson was recovering from his torn Achilles, he sat on the Warriors’ bench, alone, with a towel draped over his head for 30 minutes. The Achilles and ACL injury kept him out for 941 days, and in his return to game action, he snarled at the Chase Center crowd after dunking on a pair of Cavaliers.
