Draymond Green and Klay Thompson

In what is supposed to be an emotional return for Klay Thompson, former teammate, Draymond Green vowed to show no mercy to his former teammate. He made this known on his podcast, “The Draymond Green Show.”

Draymond Green discussed his recent interaction with Thompson, who jokingly called him an “opps” after a practice session.

Kyrie, Klay, couple other guys, they come in at the gym after I finish my workout. And then Trav saw Klay come in and Trav was talking to Kyrie and Klay walked up to Ky like, ‘Ky, don’t be talking to the opps.

Draymond Green said

Green then shared the exchange on his podcast, where he welcomed teammate Moses Moody and was prompted by co-host Baron Davis to reveal the story.

The next day, I’m working out, they come in again after me and I’m talking to Ky and he walks up, ‘Ky you talking to the opps?’ So therefore, I’m gonna run through his chest when we play them now. I wasn’t going to. Obviously, we all love Klay. But to love Klay is to also know that he gonna come in there tryin to murder us.

Draymond Green added

The former splash brother, Thompson’s return to Chase Center is highly anticipated, as the Dallas Mavericks face the Warriors on Tuesday. The game will also mark the opening of the Emirates NBA Cup and will see the Dubs honor Thompson’s legacy.

The tribute will acknowledge Thompson’s five All-Star appearances and his significant contributions to the Warriors’ golden era. As he prepares to face his former team, Green’s promise to show no mercy has now added an exciting layer for the fans.

Warriors plan emotional tribute for Klay Thompson’s return to Chase Center

With his return at the corner, the Golden State Warriors will honor Klay Thompson’s legacy with a special ceremony when he returns to where it all began. Klay Thompson spent 11 seasons with the Warriors before he joined the Mavericks in the offseason.

They are billing the night as a ‘salute to captain Klay Thompson’. Fans will each be given a captain’s hat. It’s a nod to the commutes that Thompson would often make to Chase Center on his 37-foot fishing vessel. The idea is that fans will all take off their hats and extend them, a literal salute to the four-time champion.

ESPN’s Malika Andrews said on NBA Today

Thompson’s tenure with the Warriors was marked by unprecedented success, which included four NBA Championships and five consecutive Finals appearances from 2014-2019. He averaged 19.6 points, 3.5 rebounds, and 2.3 assists during his time with the franchise.

The tribute will feature words from Stephen Curry, who fought back tears earlier, and a fan ceremony that will celebrate his love for the Bay Area. The Warriors (7-1) and Mavericks (5-3) are both off to strong starts, and the emotional return will also serve as a fitting tribute to Thompson’s lasting impact on the Warriors organization.
