In the lead-up to Klay Thompson's return to the Bay Area, the former Golden State Warrior was radiating indifference. He insisted the only thing notable about Tuesday's match-up between the Warriors and Thompson's Dallas Mavericks was that it was an NBA Cup game, a statement so bananas that his own teammate laughed out loud when he heard it. Even Thompson's father said it was nonsense.
It turns out Thompson's dour attitude tracked behind the scenes, too, with the Athletic's Sam Amick reporting that the erstwhile Splash Brother tried to squash the homecoming celebration almost entirely.
