Months ago, Washington State announced Klay Thompson would be the second player in program history to have his jersey retired by the school.
Now, there’s a date set for when the Cougars will immortalize one of the best players to wear WSU’s crimson and gray.
On Monday, WSU announced Thompson will return to the Palouse on Jan. 18 to see his jersey go into the rafters at Beasley Coliseum. The Cougars host Oregon State that day at 1 p.m.
The Golden State Warriors shooting guard, now a three-time NBA champion and five-time All-Star, will join former WSU big man Steve Puidokas as the only other basketball player in school history to have his number retired.
