How did Klay Thompson perform in the last NBA season?

Klay Thompson’s performance in the last NBA season was inconsistent. For instance, he scored a season-high 35 points against the Utah Jazz. In this Warriors vs. Utah Jazz game, he came off the bench and played a major role in the win.

On the other hand, he went scoreless in a couple of games. One of them was the potential final game of the season against the Kings. Therefore, this inconsistency raised questions about his future with the Golden State Warriors.

Overall, Klay’s scoring average (17.9 points per game) fell short of his career average (19.6 points per game).

Klay Thompson’s Golden State Warriors Contract

Klay Thompson’s current contract with the Golden State Warriors will conclude after this NBA season (2023-24). Previously, he was on a five-year $190 million deal.

There were talks for an extension with the Warriors that happened before this NBA season but no agreement was reached. Warriors reportedly offered a two-year extension around $48 million total but Thompson declined.

Thompson’s recent performance has been lower than usual due to injuries. Since the Warriors need to manage their salary cap, they may prioritize younger players.
