"It reminds you that there’s greatness still within you," Thompson said after a blistering first quarter against the Wizards.
Klay Thompson said it would be 'cool to be a part of' NBA vs. WNBA 3-point contest with Caitlin Clark, Steph Curry & Sabrina Ionescu during NBA All-Star
The Dallas Mavericks hosted the Washington Wizards on Monday night and got out to a dominating start, thanks to future Hall of Famer Klay Thompson. He scored 21 points in the first quarter, outscoring the Wizards by himself, as Washington had just 16 points in the first 12 minutes.
WNBA superstar Caitlin Clark is reportedly not going to participate in next month's NBA All-Star 3-point contest.
Klay Thompson shared an incredibly humble admission following the Mavericks' victory against the Wizards on Monday night.
Thompson tied a Mavericks record set by Luka Doncic three seasons ago with a vintage performance reminiscent of his prime with the Warriors.
P.J. Washington scored 25 points, making all four of his 3-point attempts in the fourth quarter, and Kyrie Irving added 25 points and six assists as the Dallas Mavericks outlasted the New Orleans Pelicans 137-136.
During the Celtics-Warriors game on Martin Luther King Jr. Day, TNT analyst and Basketball Hall of Famer Reggie Miller appeared to leak that Clark and Thompson would join the showdown at All-Star Weekend.
During this time, Pelicans guard C.J. McCollum took advantage of a missed floater by Irving and led a transition opportunity to find Trey Murphy III for a windmill alley-oop. Less than 10 seconds later, McCollum remixed the play and threw another lob to Murphy to give the Pelicans a six-point lead going into the half.
SAN FRANCISCO — The first of what is expected to be five jersey retirements from the Golden State Warriors dynasty has been announced. The franchise will retire Andre Iguodala’s No. 9 jersey on Feb. 23, coinciding with another Klay Thompson return night, allowing Thompson to attend.
Clark won’t be participating in a three-point contest at NBA All-Star weekend — instead, she’ll make her debut at WNBA All-Star in Indianapolis this summer.
