Klay Thompson faced a challenging start to his NBA season this year but found his stride in a new off-the-bench role set by Steve Kerr. Addressing rumors about his future, Thompson recently spoke out on The Draymond Green Show, offering fans a hint into his current mindset regarding his career.

Despite not yet re-signing with the Warriors and approaching free agency this summer, Thompson’s statements hint at the possibility of a different path ahead.

“I want to re-sign with the (Warriors), but I also have to prioritize my mental health and what matters to me in this stage of my career,” Thompson shared candidly on the podcast hosted by his teammate, Draymond Green. While expressing his desire to continue with the Dubs, he made it clear that his mental well-being holds significant importance.

Thompson is reportedly under Magic’s radar

Facing criticism earlier in the season, Thompson spoke about the impact it had on him, even after regaining form. These sentiments underline the importance of mental health in his decisions moving forward.

Recent reports have fueled speculation that Thompson might seek a new team upon becoming a free agent. The Orlando Magic, from the Eastern Conference, reportedly have their sights set on the Warriors star, potentially offering him a contract this summer.

NBA Insider Tim Kawakami has weighed in, confirming the rumors of Magic’s interest in Thompson. With a young and relatively inexperienced squad, the Magic see Thompson as fitting the bill for the veteran shooter they seek, possibly hinting at a move to acquire him in the near future.
