One half of the Splash Brothers is now part of the Dallas Mavericks.

After 13 seasons and four championships with the Golden State Warriors, Klay Thompson is joining the Mavericks via a sign-and-trade, according to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski. The Warriors selected Thompson with the No. 11 pick in the 2011 NBA draft and the guard played a key role in the franchise's resurgence, alongside Stephen Curry and Draymond Green.

The five-time NBA All-Star will now team up with Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving, who lost to the Boston Celtics in the 2024 NBA Finals.
