Klay Thompson is paying tribute to those who helped him along the way during his return to the West Coast.
Moments after the Los Angeles Lakers defeated the Dallas Mavericks 107-99, a game in which Thompson dropped 22 points and snatched eight rebounds, he was greeted by a person who helped him return to basketball after tearing his Achilles in Nov. 2020.
Thompson linked with the legendary Dr. Richard Ferkel in the Crypto.com tunnel to present him with a championship ring he won when the Golden State Warriors defeated the Boston Celtics in six games during the 2022 NBA Finals.
