The Golden State Warriors and star guard Klay Thompson are struggling to find common ground as there’s a significant gap between the sides in extension talks, sources told The Athletic’s Shams Charania.
Thompson is looking for the Warriors to add years and salary to his next contract, Sharania adds.
The four-time NBA champion impressed last season, leading the NBA in total 3-pointers (301) and ranking second in 3-pointers per game (4.4) behind teammate Steph Curry. It was a solid performance for Thompson after injuries held him out for the entire 2019-20 and 2020-21 campaigns and sidelined him for a good portion of the 2021-22 season.
