Klay Thompson: 'I'm not really worried about an extension right now'
“I’m focused on just the daily dedication it takes to do this job,” said Thompson. “I’m not really worried about an extension right now. That it will all play itself out.” Thompson was asked whether that has essentially led him to put an unofficial deadline on the talks with the regular season now underway. “I just don’t want to think about it. I don’t like thinking about it.”

Klay follows a turnover on the inbounds (that led to a 3) with an offensive foul. That’s the 16th turnover – 12:21 AM

Keegan Murray collided with Klay Thompson, took a shoulder I think to the side of his face, and dropped to the floor, got up slowly and looks to have recovered with a bucket on the other end moments later. – 11:29 PM

Klay Thompson, who was about to close the half on the bench before GP2 picked up his third, closed the half with a stellar extra pass. He had an open look from the top out of a Curry double. With the Kings closing hard, he swung it Kuminga for the 3 – 11:11 PM

First half: Warriors were +13 in Steph Curry’s 17 minutes and -10 in his 7 bench minutes. He had 18 points. Steve Kerr really mixed up his lineups late in half. Quarter closed on a Klay Thompson extra pass for a Jonathan Kuminga corner 3. Bench was fired up. – 11:10 PM

Asked Steve Kerr about Klay Thompson playing 36 minutes and Chris Paul playing 34 in the season opener
Kerr says Steph Curry’s foul trouble played into CP3 playing more than he expected and he’d like everyone at 32 minutes or fewer – 8:39 PM

From #Warriors shootaround: I asked Klay Thompson, will you savor this season more, just in case (he leaves)?
Klay Thompson, emphatically: “hell yea. You never know what’s going to happen, so yea, I’m gonna savor this as much as I can. Especially this uniform. I was here before… pic.twitter.com/hhqLOoS1BY – 2:25 PM

Warriors have two road back-to-backs coming up. Klay Thompson intends to play both sides: “I’m playing as many games as I can. Hopefully that’s toward the 70s. It’d be a goal of mine. 82 might be hard, but, shoot, why not shoot for high 70s?” pic.twitter.com/s8oclSOrlE – 2:20 PM

More on this storyline
Anthony Slater: Klay Thompson had a good defensive opener guarding Kevin Durant. Bothered his shot a few times and generated a steal using strip move. “Definitely learned that from Andre Iguodala. Probably the best I’ve ever seen at stripping people.” Here are the clips and a Klay soundbite pic.twitter.com/m8am0fPSgO -via Twitter @anthonyVslater / October 27, 2023
Anthony Slater: Klay Thompson doesn’t have an extension deadline, but does seem like talks are tabled with the season here: “I’m focused on the daily dedication it takes to do this job. I’m not worried about an extension.” -via Twitter @anthonyVslater / October 27, 2023
Mike Brown: Nah, I can’t either. When you say Golden State Warriors, immediately what comes to mind are the three guys that are there still. Obviously, Steve Kerr comes to mind, but you think of Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson and Draymond Green right away. If you’re a huge basketball enthusiast, your intentions are pure, and you appreciate the game at the highest level, one of the things you think has to happen is those three guys have got to ride off into the sunset together. -via HoopsHype / October 24, 2023
