What’s next for Thompson?

At 34 years old, Thompson is no longer an All-Star and All-Defensive Team player, but he is still a vital part of the Warriors' success and culture. Thompson has played his entire career with the Warriors after they selected him with the 11th overall pick in the 2011 NBA Draft.

Thompson is linked with a move away from the Warriors in the restricted free agency. Multiple franchises would love to have someone like Klay with them. However, the former NBA champion has made it clear that he would love to stay with the Warriors.

Klay’s game against the Sacramento Kings

Klay Thompson had a below-par season but his game against the Kings might be the worst game of his NBA career as he looked totally out of rhythm and didn’t help the Warriors' cause against a young Kings team. Klay couldn’t score a single point in 32 minutes on the court, he was 0 out of 10 in field goal attempts and 0 out of 6 from beyond the arc.
