Mavs-Warriors preview: Irving’s been there, knows what’s in store for Klay

SAN FRANCISCO – Only a select few can identify with what Klay Thompson will go through on Tuesday night when he makes his return to Chase Center against the team he helped win four NBA championships.

Kyrie Irving can.

While a different set of circumstances were in play for Irving when he made his first appearance in Cleveland, one thing will not change for Thompson, Irving said.

“It’s emotionally draining,” Irving said, “because you’re trying to anticipate what it’s going to be like before you get there.”

For Thompson, it will no doubt be a night filled with love and support.
