Klay Thompson will only return to the Golden State Warriors if one player pushes for it

Could Klay Thompson return to the Golden State Warriors?

Two years after Thompson’s split with the Warriors, there is some buzz that he could return to Golden State to finish out his NBA career.

A new report from ESPN’s Anthony Slater and Tim MacMahon detailed the Thompson situation, as he felt like he was being “pushed out” of the organization.

Slater and MacMahon also added some interesting intel about the possibility of Thompson returning to the Warriors and reuniting with Stephen Curry.

“Those around Thompson say they believe it could eventually happen because ‘there’s no one that carries more weight with Klay than Steph,’ one league source said.

“But [Stephen] Curry would have to push for it.”

Klay Thompson hasn’t been the same since parting ways with the Golden State Warriors

Since his departure from the Warriors, Thompson hasn’t found the same success on the Dallas Mavericks, who missed the playoffs last season and who are 10-17 to begin this season.

When Thompson joined the Mavericks they still had Luka Doncic and were a perennial championship contender.

Now, the Mavericks are reportedly expected to explore trade options for Thompson near the deadline.

Thompson is currently owed $17 million next season, which could make it difficult for the Mavericks to move him.
