Thompson has deleted all photos of himself in a Warriors uniform from the past two years and followed Orlando Magic player Paolo Banchero, fueling speculation about a possible move to the Magic.
These social media moves come at a time of uncertainty regarding Thompson’s future with the Warriors. Renowned for his shooting prowess and defensive skills, Thompson has been instrumental in the Warriors’ success, contributing to six NBA Finals appearances and four titles since 2015.
Last season, Thompson played in 77 games, averaging 17.9 points, 3.3 rebounds, and 2.3 assists per game, with 43.2 percent from the field. He adapted to new roles, even coming off the bench in 14 games, demonstrating his team-first mentality.
Green’s comment on the situation
Meanwhile, his teammate, Draymond Green didn’t hesitate to comment on the situation on his podcast. Green admitted he was unaware of Thompson’s Instagram changes beforehand but found the situation amusing and downplayed any potential conflict, calling the reactions “comical.”
“I know all of you were probably wanting me to talk about Klay unfollowing the Warriors and deleting some Instagram posts or something,” Green said.
“I have no idea what happened. I think it’s f***ing hilarious. I just laughed, I think it’s funny, I know you’re all wanting someone’s feelings to be hurt. I don’t do that, I’m never going to do that. That’s hilarious.”
