Tuesday is a crucial game for the 8-2 Golden State Warriors. The Dubs finished their five-game road trip with a 4-1 record after their decisive victory against the Oklahoma City Thunder on Sunday. The Warriors will meet the Dallas Mavericks at Chase Center on Tuesday, marking their return home.

This also includes the eagerly anticipated return of Klay Thompson, who used free agency to bring his skills to Dallas during the offseason. Steph Curry, for his part, is already considering his former Splash Brother’s possible return to the Bay Area. Ahead of their impending reunion on the floor, the Warriors’ star point guard actually made a direct admission. Curry remarked, “Seeing No. 31 (on it) is strange.” “I hate that.” Curry was alluding to Thompson’s Mavs No. 31 jersey, which the former back-to-back MVP has obviously not yet adapted to.

For 13 years, Thompson wore the No. 11 jersey for the Warriors, winning four NBA titles in the process. There’s no doubting that the five-time All-Star and Curry created many memories together, both on and off the court. He was a member of one of the most successful backcourts in the history of the sport.

Curry is still having trouble accepting that Thompson is now devoted to a different team for precisely this reason. He has been brutally honest about it, admitting that he finds it unbearable to see Thompson wearing Dallas’ colors. To put it mildly, Tuesday night’s game is going to be really intriguing.
