Klay Thompson’s No. 11 Warriors Jersey Half-Retired After Mavericks Deal – NBC Sports Bay Area & California
Now that the dust has settled on the Klay Thompson sign-and-trade to the Dallas Mavericks, the Warriors are doing some serious housecleaning.
As Danny Emerman and Dave McMenamin reported at the start of the California Classic at Chase Center, Golden State is selling its remaining stock of Thompson jerseys at 50% off.

After contract extension negotiations stalled, Thompson joined Dallas in a six-team sign-and-trade deal, ending his 13-year career in the San Francisco Bay Area. Both sides posted emotional tributes, with Thompson and Golden State expressing deep gratitude to each other.
The Warriors displayed a “Thank you Klay Thompson” message on the video screen, and the PA announcer urged fans to buy Klay’s jerseys “while supplies last.”

With the iconic Splash Brother now gone, the Warriors are shedding his iconic No. 11 jersey as the franchise enters the 2024-25 NBA season with a revamped roster. Recent acquisitions Buddy Hield, Kyle Anderson and De’Anthony Melton will look to fill the void left by Thompson’s departure.
Warriors fans can still get their hands on No. 11 jerseys while supplies last, a throwback to the days when Thompson, Steph Curry and Draymond Green formed one of the NBA’s all-time great trios, winning four NBA titles in a span of eight seasons.
