Golden State Warriors Honor Klay Thompson In Emotional Return To Chase Center

In a heartfelt tribute, the Golden State Warriors honored Klay Thompson during their game against the Dallas Mavericks at the Chase Center on Tuesday night. The Warriors celebrated Thompson’s contributions to the franchise with a special ceremony before the game, presenting fans with captain’s hats to honor Thompson’s tradition of boating to games as “Captain Klay.”

“Captain’s hat ended up being a great touch because I’m such a passionate boater,” Thompson said post-game. “Saw a lot of familiar faces. It was a warm-hearted feeling.”

The pregame tribute included a video montage showcasing Thompson’s memorable moments with the Warriors, including his iconic shots and contributions to the team’s four championships. Fans in attendance gave Thompson a rousing ovation, with many holding up signs and wearing “Captain Klay” gear.

Thompson, who joined the Mavericks in July on a three-year, $50 million contract, had a strong performance, finishing with 22 points on 7-of-17 shooting and connecting on 6-of-12 attempts from beyond the arc. However, it was Stephen Curry who stole the show in the final minutes, scoring the Warriors’ final 12 points to secure a 120-117 victory.

The Warriors and Mavericks will face each other two more times this season, with the next matchup scheduled for February 12 in Dallas and the final meeting on February 23 in the Bay Area.
