After agreeing to a sign-and-trade deal with the Dallas Mavericks this offseason, Klay Thompson ended his 13-year career as a member of the Golden State Warriors as he began a new chapter. Tonight, Thompson made his return to the Bay Area and was honored by the team.
As he was introduced back to the Warriors crowd, the arena tuned in to a tribute video for the five-time All-Star and the other half of the famous “Splash Brothers” duo.
