Klay Thompson entered the fourth year of his current five-year contract with the Warriors. This season the 32-year-old shooting guard will earn $40.6 million.
Unlike his younger teammates Jordan Poole and Andrew Wiggins, he did not get an extension before the start of the season. Thompson reveals that he didn’t even discuss it with the team’s front office.
Despite that, he is not concerned about getting an extension and is confident he will get one sooner or later.
“I’m just going to do what I got to do to be the best I can be every day. I’m going to be a great player. I know what I’m capable of. I fully expect to earn another NBA contract, whether it’s this summer or next summer. I’m fully confident in my abilities. I’m not worried about an extension in the meantime because I know it’ll happen if I just do my job and I just be myself.”
Last season Thompson averaged 20.4 points, 3.9 rebounds and 2.8 assists in 29.4 minutes per game on the way to his fourth NBA championship.
