Stephen Curry breaks silence on Klay Thompson’s departure from Warriors

Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry broke his silence on his longtime teammate Klay Thompsonrecent decision to sign with the Dallas Mavericks in an interview with ESPN‘s Malika Andrews.

Curry, 36, said it “sucks” to no longer have Thompson as a teammate and that he “desperately” wants him back with the Warriors. The duo, along with forward Draymond Greenwon four NBA championships and 518 regular-season and playoff games between 2015 and 2022, a feat that Curry says is unlikely to be repeated.

“I mean, obviously, defining a dynasty can take a lot of different perspectives,” Curry said. “People thought it was over in 2019 … but 2022 has been an incredible championship because we defied the odds … That’s 11 out of almost 12 years of championship relevance built around a certain core.”

“I don’t think it’s going to happen again, just because it’s very hard to keep things together in this league. There’s a lot more player movement. Klay, Draymond and I have complemented each other very well for so long. We’ve all brought something different, so we’ll see. Records are made to be broken. Dynasties come in all shapes and sizes within us, so we’ll see.”

Thompson, 34, spent his entire career with the Warriors and was the second-longest tenured player behind Curry, with whom he formed the best shooting guard duo in NBA history. Thompson, Curry and Green’s combined win total ranks sixth all-time among NBA trios; their 98 playoff victories rank third all-time, and their four championship titles are tied with the San Antonio Spurs trio. Tim Duncan, Tony Parker And Manu Ginobili for the most wins by an All-NBA trio in the last 50 years.

Thompson averaged 17.9 points, 3.3 rebounds and 2.3 assists per game in the 2023-24 season, appearing in 77 games, the most since the 2018-19 season, after missing the 2019-20 season with a knee injury and the 2020-21 season with an Achilles injury. The Mavericks are two weeks removed from their loss to the Boston Celtics in the 2024 NBA Finals.
