Klay Thompson will return to the Bay Area to face his former team for the first time since leaving Golden State to join the Dallas Mavericks on a three-year, $50 million contract. A special pregame tribute will be held at Chase Center and fans will receive captain's hats honoring Thompson's tradition of traveling to games in his boat.

The Golden State Warriors had just wrapped up their season-opening homestand and the game with Dallas was the next date at Chase Center — with all fans in attendance to receive a captain’s hat honoring Thompson’s tradition of boating to games as “Captain Klay.”“I don’t think I’ll really know until I get there to be honest,” Thompson said when asked about he’d react to the reunion.
The veteran guard missed more than 2 1/2 years — the entire 2019-20 and 2020-21 seasons — recovering from surgeries on his left knee and right Achilles tendon before making his comeback in January 2022. He has called the recoveries from consecutive injuries one of the hardest and most grueling things he has ever endured.
“With Klay, it’s not the records or championships or clutch shots that stand out the most from the last 13 years — it’s the truly unique relationship he developed with the Bay Area and our fans,” Warriors President and COO Brandon Schneider said in a statement. “He embraced Dub Nation and Dub Nation embraced him back. Warriors fans have laughed, cried, cheered and celebrated alongside him, and it’s only fitting that they get a chance to show their love and salute him in his return to the Bay.
