Klay Thompson Says His Mavericks Future Is Uncertain After Season Finale

His comments highlight Dallas's shift to a youth-focused rebuild led by rookie Cooper Flagg.

Overview

  • Thompson, asked after Sunday's 149-128 win over the Bulls, said he was not sure he would be in Dallas next season despite being under contract.
  • He has one year left on a three-year deal and will turn 37 next season, making his salary and role part of Dallas's offseason calculus.
  • The veteran moved to a bench role and posted career-low minutes, averaging 11.7 points on 39.3% shooting with 38.3% from three in 69 games.
  • In the finale he scored 12 points and passed Kevin McHale for 100th on the NBA all-time scoring list, logging his 11th season with 200 or more made threes.
  • Yahoo Sports reports his future could hinge on a new general manager's roster review around Cooper Flagg, with a trade to a contender possible if Dallas seeks picks or flexibility.
