SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Following the Golden State Warriors' season-opening homestand, the team is gearing up to face the Dallas Mavericks at Chase Center. This matchup holds special significance as it marks Klay Thompson's return to face his former team for the first time since joining the Mavericks in July on a three-year, $50 million contract.
Thompson, a key player for the Warriors for 11 seasons and a part of four championship-winning teams, underwent a challenging recovery process after missing over 2 1/2 years due to injuries to his left knee and right Achilles tendon. Despite the emotional reunion, Thompson remains focused on approaching the game as just another on the schedule.
