Draymond makes physical prediction for first matchup against Klay originally appeared on NBC Sports Bay Area
Warriors star Draymond Green and his former teammate Klay Thompson will be friends for life, even after the sharpshooter left Golden State for the Dallas Mavericks.
But things might not be so friendly on the court during the 2024-2025 NBA season.
“I’m running through his chest,” Green told the “Sloane Knows Podcast” at Warriors Media Day on Monday, before saying “of course” he would send Thompson his way.
‘He is my brother, but he is not one of us. He doesn’t belong to us, he belongs to the opps.’
Green has never been one to hold anything back on the court, and that will be no different when he faces his former teammate of 12 seasons for the first time on November 12 when the Mavericks visit Chase Center.
It will be an interesting night for both Thompson and the Warriors after the Splash Brother signed a three-year, $50 million contract with the Mavericks in NBA free agency, allowing the only team he has known to make a fresh start in Dallas.
But despite their friendship, Thompson can rest assured that Green and the rest of Golden State won’t be taking it easy now that they’re Western Conference foes.
