With the NBA season heading to a close, there have been rising concerns about Klay’s future in the Bay Area. Reportedly not getting the contract extension he desires, Klay is likely to become an unrestricted free agent this summer. And possibly as a negotiation tactic, KT shocked everyone by unfollowing the Warriors’ handle on social media. But his running mate Draymond Green didn’t seem too worried about anything and instead found joy in binging social media only to find a nostalgic Steph Curry banger, from two years ago.
Warriors fans were in disbelief after Klay unfollowed the team that he has been a part of his entire career. Moreover, he has also removed a lot of team-related posts and pictures of himself in the Warriors uniform. Meanwhile, he continues to follow the Santa Cruz Warriors on IG, the franchise’s G League team. However, not affected by Klay’s actions, Draymond shared the highlights of Stephen Curry’s epic Game 4 performance from the 2022 NBA Finals on his IG story, and captioned it “WOW.”
Yes, it was the same game Steph dropped a series-high 43 points along with 10 rebounds and led the Warriors to a much-needed victory. Coming into that game down 1-2, Steph’s heroic performance helped the Golden State level the series, that too, in Boston’s arena. It built such momentum that they went on to win the next two games and became Champions!

Maybe, after watching his team struggle this season, Draymond wanted to relive the memories of the time he last lifted the title. With an aging roster and Klay likely to part ways, the Warriors dynasty might be coming to an end. On the other hand, while the GSW faithful pulled their hair trying to figure out Klay’s sudden move on social media, his teammate claimed to not even know about it.
What did Draymond say about Klay Thompson unfollowing the Warriors?
This incident did not ring any alarm bells for Draymond. Addressing the act on The Draymond Green Show, the Warriors forward found it more comical than concerning, “I had no idea that happened. I think it’s f**king hilarious.” Having been teammates and close friends for over a decade, Green knows the trolling nature of Klay and understands that he is the one who would do such a thing merely to have some fun!
Contrary to popular belief, Draymond claimed that what Klay did didn’t hurt his feelings. Although some fans believed it would have. “It ain’t that. Ain’t never gonna be that.” But that does not change the fact that there is a strong chance that Klay might already have played his last game in the Warriors’ uniform. And it wasn’t a performance he would want to remember or take with him. Facing elimination in the play-in tournament, Klay shot an abysmal 0 of 10 from the field in his final game of this season and went scoreless.

Although fans will always remember him for the four titles he won and the iconic moments he produced in the last 11 years, Klay Thompson would have hoped for a better ending to his Warriors journey, if this really is the end. Do you agree?
