Klay Thompson’s Future in Flux as Off-Court Spotlight Grows Brighter
Klay Thompson may be wearing a Dallas Mavericks jersey these days, but it’s clear his heart might be split between more than just basketball. While trade rumors swirl around the Mavs-particularly involving big names like Anthony Davis-Thompson seems to be keeping things cool, both on and off the court. And off the court, it’s Megan Thee Stallion who’s got his full attention.
The five-time All-Star has been spotted regularly with the Grammy-winning rapper since the two began dating in the summer of 2025. Their relationship has been anything but low-key.
Whether it’s sharing moments on social media or simply being seen together courtside, the couple has made it clear they’re enjoying the ride. A recent viral photo of Klay watching Megan prepare a drink-his expression somewhere between admiration and bliss-only added fuel to the fire for fans convinced this is more than just a fling.
And while the internet does what it does-speculating about rings and wedding bells-Thompson, for now, is keeping his focus split between his personal happiness and a Mavericks team that’s still trying to find its identity.
When Thompson signed with Dallas, the expectation was that he’d be playing meaningful basketball deep into the spring. But with Luka Dončić no longer in town, the Mavericks' playoff hopes have taken a hit. The team is hovering outside the play-in picture, and Klay’s role has shifted from championship piece to veteran presence on a squad still searching for direction.
That’s where things get interesting.
According to a recent report from ESPN’s Anthony Slater, there’s growing belief in league circles that a reunion between Thompson and the Golden State Warriors isn’t off the table. “Those around Thompson say they believe it could eventually happen because there’s no one that carries more weight with Klay than Steph,” one league source noted. “But Curry would have to push for it.”
That’s a key detail. Steph Curry and Klay Thompson built a dynasty together in the Bay Area, and their chemistry-on and off the court-is the stuff of legend. If Curry gives the green light, and the Warriors front office sees a path, the door could be open for a homecoming.
And let’s be honest-if it happens, Dub Nation would welcome Klay back with open arms. Even as the Warriors navigate a transitional phase, the idea of reuniting the Splash Brothers is more than just nostalgic-it could be the jolt Golden State needs.
So while Klay Thompson’s present is in Dallas and his heart may be with Megan, his basketball future? That might just lead him back to where it all began.
