The Golden State Warriors’ season came to an abrupt end Tuesday night, with a 118-94 loss to the Sacramento Kings in the first round of the Play-In Tournament. It was a dismal end to another roller coaster of a season, as the Kings dominated the Warriors throughout the evening.
Despite a recent hot streak to end the year, Warriors shooting guard Klay Thompson played his poorest game of the season. He went 0-of-6 from three-point range and 0-of-10 from the field overall.
Following the game, Thompson’s impending free agency was the most talked-about topic. Head coach Steve Kerr, along with numerous of Thompson’s Warriors colleagues, have stated that they “desperately” want their Splash Brother back on the club next season. Having said that, it will be up to him and the team’s front management to reach an agreement that benefits both parties’ futures.
"I know I speak for everybody in the organization: We want him back."
