Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry has spoken out about Klay Thompson’s decision to join the Dallas Mavericks, marking the end of their iconic partnership. The announcement came as a shock to many fans, who had long seen Thompson and Curry as the heart of the Warriors’ successful run in the past decade.
In his first public comments since the news broke, Curry expressed a mix of sadness and support. “It’s definitely a tough day for me,” Curry admitted during a press conference. “Klay and I have been through so much together, and it’s hard to imagine him in a different uniform. But ultimately, I’m excited for him and wish him nothing but the best with the Mavericks.”
Curry reflected on their shared achievements, including three NBA championships and multiple All-Star appearances. “We’ve created so many great memories and achieved so much together. It’s been an incredible journey,” he said. “I’ll always value our time as teammates, and I’m grateful for all the moments we had on and off the court.”
Thompson’s move to the Mavericks represents a significant shift in the NBA landscape. The veteran guard, known for his sharpshooting and defensive prowess, will bring a new dynamic to Dallas as they aim to build a championship-contending team around Luka Dončić.
While Curry is clearly feeling the weight of his longtime friend’s departure, he remains optimistic about the future of the Warriors and their ability to continue their success. “Change is part of the game,” he noted. “We’ve got a great team and a lot of talent, and I’m confident we’ll keep striving for excellence.”
As the Warriors prepare for a new chapter without Thompson, Curry’s words underscore the deep bond shared between the two stars and the respect that remains despite their separation.
