There are two big expectations for Klay Thompson’s first game facing the Golden State Warriors as an opponent: It is going to be an emotional night, and Draymond Green is going to give Thompson a hard foul at some point.
Mychal Thompson, Klay’s father and a longtime NBA player and broadcaster, said as such on 95.7 The Game’s “Willard and Dibs” show on Tuesday afternoon, just a few hours before the Warriors face Klay’s new team, the Mavericks.
"They'll give him a nice little tribute tonight and welcome him back and show him appreciation for all the years he spent up there,” Mychal Thompson said.
