@MavSlander: “My main takeaway from this game is that we got to see the possible rotation for JKidd early in the season AD DLive Coop Klay PJ DLo Christie Nembhard Naji”
@WagwanKyrie: “Klay Thompson has Megan courtside so you know he’s going off tonight”
jay: “I know it’s only preseason but Klay has been underwhelming unfortunately. I hope his shots start falling way more consistently once the regular season is here”
@Chipfromthepark: “Klay really got it made. He probably plays less than 5 more seasons, already 1st Ballot HOF with 4 championships, he’s got no state income tax, BUT MOST OF ALL he got Megan.”
@Don_BeeMonique: “Klay gon ball for it ALL this year! Especially at those Meg is in attendance games 🤪 mwwahh!”
Thompson is going into his second year playing for the Mavs.
He finished last season with averages of 14.0 points, 3.4 rebounds and 2.0 assists per contest while shooting 41.2% from the field and 39.1% from the three-point range in 72 games.
The Mavs will open up the 2025-26 regular season on October 22 when they host Victor Wembanyama and the San Antonio Spurs in Dallas.
They are coming off a year where they lost to the Memphis Grizzlies in the play-in tournament (so they missed the 2025 NBA playoffs).
