Will the next season be the last for Klay Thompson at Golden State Warriors?

Klay Thompson had a good season with the Golden State Warriors and despite the elimination from Los Angeles Lakers in the Western Conference semis, it was a good season.

Thompson made good appearances this season, playing 69 games and 33 minutes on average. He made 21.9 points on average and 4.2 assists.

The upcoming season will be the 11th with Steph Curry, and Draymond Green. Green has extended his stay, signing a four-year contract that will keep him on the squad until 2027. But nothing is for granted as movements can happen.

Contract Expiration

Thompson is a free agent next summer and his contract ends. He signed a five-year contract with a value of 190 million $. But since then the appearances were not as he would like to be, missing almost three years due to an injury and returning in 2022.

This year Warriors played a period with Steph Carry and that indicated the performance of the team.

Next season sees them as the favorites for the NBA throne, but some things need to be clarified first. Among the contract expiration, another thing is group compactness and how many minutes players are going to play together.

The desire of the player is determinative to stay or find another team. Another fact is the minutes he will take and the effectiveness that he will have on the pitch. Thompson will evaluate each option to decide.

Another injury would complicate things for the 33-year-old from Washington who has been not at his best in the last season. NBA is a complicated competition and many obstacles occur along the way. Players never know their conditions and any match can be the last. Among that, a high level of performance is required for each game.

That makes this competition so hard to fight and to find a place and be one of the protagonists. The best way to evaluate the situation is based on what the group and the coach offer.
