Klay Thompson BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.
Klay Thompson’s past few days have been nothing short of headline-grabbing, both professionally and personally, as basketball’s biggest dynasties gave way to a new chapter in Dallas alongside another superstar—this time from the music world. After dominating NBA Finals and record books with Steph Curry and Draymond Green in Golden State, Thompson’s decision to sign with the Dallas Mavericks this past offseason broke the Warriors’ iconic trio. Draymond Green, now vocal about the split, revealed on Boardroom and in Sports Illustrated that he didn’t pressure Klay to stay, explaining Klay needed a change—his legendary joy was gone in that final Golden State year and Dallas was always about rediscovering himself. Green’s emotional support for his “brother” became a talking point, with ESPN and Yahoo amplifying how deeply bonded those Warriors were beyond the court, and how no one begrudged Klay for prioritizing his mental health and happiness.
Opening night with the Mavericks, October 22, put Klay in the news for two reasons. First, his on-court debut was, frankly, rough: ten points, two rebounds, one assist in 22 minutes, and a lopsided 125-92 loss to Victor Wembanyama’s Spurs. The Dallas media and CBS 11 News noted it was his worst statistical game since his rookie season, but the tone shifted quickly off the court. Social feeds exploded when cameras caught Megan Thee Stallion—Grammy-winning rapper, new girlfriend, and headline magnet—courtside for Klay in Dallas blue, later strolling hand-in-hand with him, head resting on his shoulder as the couple made their public relationship officially viral. According to BroBible, Dallas outlets, and BBC Entertainment, Megan captioned their walk-in photos “Lover Girl,” a nod to her latest single. In it, she shouts out Klay, while fans and NBA talking heads credited their chemistry for softening the postgame sting.
Their relationship is now the subject of as much talk as Klay’s game itself. Megan had been spotted at Dallas preseason games, gifting Klay a custom chain and turning heads with fashionable courtside looks that earned her “power couple” praise throughout NBA and rap Twitter. Red carpet debuts, workout date clips, and supportive posts all made the rounds, and former teammates like Draymond were quick to express happiness for Klay’s “authentic new joy.” Celebrity culture sites from People to OperationsSports observed how this pairing feels refreshingly real, not manufactured, and that social media’s obsession is in part because they look like two megastars genuinely supporting each other—what everyone wants, even after a blowout loss.
On the business front, Klay stays active. He praised Dallas teammate PJ Washington in interviews with CBS 11 and NBA Analysis, predicting All-Star breakout potential for the versatile forward. Meanwhile, Megan Thee Stallion landed a major NBA brand deal, debuting the sponsorship just before season tip-off, a move that further intertwines her professional world with Klay’s. Megan hinted to PEOPLE that their partnership was “like a movie” and suggested she’ll be a regular presence at future games, her new music rollout and personal life blending seamlessly for maximum buzz.
For all the on-court rust in Dallas, the NBA world senses Klay is building toward a bigger chapter—one with less statistical pressure and more personal fulfillment. Time will tell if that translates into rings, but right now, Klay’s biggest win is regaining his peace, purpose, and, judging by the viral reactions, the favor of everyone from sportswriters to stans.
