Warriors legend Klay Thompson returned to Golden State for the first time since joining the Dallas Mavericks tonight, and the emotions were high in the pregame ceremony honoring the four-time champion. A member of the Warriors from 2011-2024, and was a crucial part of the dynasty along with Steph Curry and Draymond Green .

As the fans wore captain's hats to honor Captain Klay, the stadium was electric in the lead-up to tip-off, where a special tribute video was dropped. One of the co-stars of an elite team in the history of basketball, Thompson averaged 19.6 points on 41.3% from beyond the arc for his career before joining Dallas.

Thompson looks to get a win against his former team tonight as the Mavericks, who are 5-5, take on the red-hot Warriors, who are 8-2 so far this year. As warm as the reception was, have no doubts that Thompson has one goal in mind tonight: get a victory.
