“He’s China bound!” – Klay Thompson’s embarrassing 0-point outing during Warriors’ do-or-die game against the Kings sparks WILD reactions on social media
The Warriors are out of the championship race after loss against the Kings.
Klay Thompson scores zero points in the play-in game.
The Golden State Warriors 2023–24 season has officially ended. The team brutally lost against the Sacramento Kings in the play-in tournament. Almost none of the players performed above average, especially the team’s four-time champion Klay Thompson.
Thompson had one of the toughest nights of his career as he was scoreless in the Golden State Warriors‘ crucial game.
The player tried his best as he took ten shots, but not a single one made it to the basket. After such a performance from the player, who is known as an incredible shooter, the backlash from netizens was inevitable.
Klay Thompson has been inconsistent throughout this season. The Splash brother has lost his accuracy in his 13th season in the NBA. Earlier in the season, the 34-year-old was eliminated from the starting five for the first time since his rookie year due to his marginally poor performance.
However, the decision by Steve Kerr turned out well as the shooter started contributing again. The star was dominant as the team’s sixth man.
Thompson was also the reason for the Warriors regular-season finale victory in the absence of Stephen Curry. However, the star was unable to repeat his performance in the critical game against the Kings.
Klay Thompson was brutally trolled after his scoreless stat against the Kings
After a hard-fought season, the Warriors were able to secure the 10th seed in the Western Conference. The team needed two more wins to qualify for the postseason but unfortunately fell short against the Sacramento Kings. The poor performance of the team’s veteran roster was unexpected for the fans.
However, a multiple-title winner scoring zero points in a do-or-die situation was unacceptable for NBA netizens. As Thompson was absent from the scoring board, fans took to social media to troll the star.
Sharing a wide spectrum of reactions online, here’s what fans have to say:
As Thompson is in the final year of his five-year deal with the Warriors, the rumors of the star getting traded have been raised due to his performance.
Reportedly, there have been some disagreements regarding the athlete’s contract renewal, which has added some fuel to the fire. The Warriors fans’ attention is now on this summer to see if the dynasty is truly over or not.
