Klay Thompson made his second preseason appearance with the Mavericks, but this time, his performance fell short compared to his last game against the Jazz. While he scored 10 points in his first game despite some nerves, his performance against the Clippers was disappointing, leaving many fans upset.
The game on October 14, 2024, was hard for veteran guard Klay Thompson because he couldn’t find his flow. In 21 minutes, he made 0 of 9 shots from the field and 0 of 6 shots from three-point range, scoring nothing. The Mavericks also fell short, losing to the Clippers 110-96.
The Clippers’ good defense mostly hampered Thompson’s shooting, which put him in tough spots. Before this bad game, he had a good start against the Jazz when he scored 10 points and made 3 of 5 three-pointers
Fans of the Mavericks can’t wait to see if Klay Thompson can get back on track during the preseason. But supporters are harshly criticizing him after today’s lackluster performance.
