Heat's Klay Thompson: Held scoreless in preseason opener
Thompson recorded zero points (0-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt) and two rebounds across 13 minutes in Saturday's 129-105 preseason win over the Raptors.
Thompson only played in the first half of Saturday's contest and didn't offer much in his preseason debut for the Heat. He started Miami's preseason opener and is the favorite to get the starting nod at shooting guard when the regular season begins.

Heat's Klay Thompson: Favorite to start?
Thompson is the clear front-runner to open the season as Miami's starting shooting guard, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
While the Heat are expected to hold a competition for the job during the preseason, Thompson's floor-spacing ability makes him a natural fit alongside Bam Adebayo and Giannis Antetokounmpo. The veteran sharpshooter made 38.3 percent on 7.6 three-point attempts per game with Dallas last regular season and has converted 38.7 percent from deep over the past three regular seasons.

Heat's Klay Thompson: Officially agrees to deal with Heat
Thompson cleared waivers and officially agreed to a two-year, $11.5 million contract with the Heat on Sunday, Sam Amick and Darnell Mayberry of The Athletic report.
Miami acquired Giannis Antetokounmpo this offseason, but the Heat are now adding Thompson in hopes of bolstering the team's chances of winning another championship. The 2011 No. 11 overall pick is coming off his worst season, averaging 11.7 points, 2.1 rebounds and 1.4 assists across 21.7 minutes, all career lows, in 69 regular-season games with the Mavericks. It's unlikely that Thompson will return to All-Star form with the Heat, considering he will turn 37 during the 2026-27 campaign. Regardless of his role, Thompson should have an opportunity to be much more productive than he was in Dallas, especially since his shooting acumen will provide spacing for Antetokounmpo and Bam Adebayo.

Heat's Klay Thompson: Reaches buyout with Mavs, signing with Heat
The Mavericks announced Friday they have reached a buyout agreement with Thompson, who's expected to sign with the Heat after he clears waivers, per Shams Charania of ESPN.
Thompson's status had been in limbo this offseason, so it's not overly surprising to see him and Dallas part ways. The veteran sharpshooter is coming off perhaps the worst season of his career, ending with career-low averages of 11.7 points, 2.1 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 2.9 three-pointers in 21.7 minutes per game through 69 regular-season appearances (eight starts). Despite that, Miami appears to have quickly swooped in to secure Thompson's services as a three-and-D presence with championship experience.

Mavericks' Klay Thompson: Career-worst year comes to close
Thompson amassed 12 points (4-10 FG, 4-9 3Pt), one assist and one steal across 10 minutes during Sunday's 149-128 victory over the Bulls.
Thompson produced a career-worst campaign in 2025-26, drawing a career-low eight starts. The veteran sharpshooter averaged a career-low 11.7 points, 2.1 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 2.9 three-pointers in 21.7 minutes per tilt through 69 games this season, shooting 38.3 percent from deep. Thompson is set for his third season with Dallas in 2026-27, barring a trade or contract buyout.

Mavericks' Klay Thompson: Not listed on injury report
Thompson (illness) has been removed from the injury report ahead of Sunday's regular-season finale against the Bulls.
Thompson missed the past two games for the Mavericks due to an illness, but it appears he'll be available for the last game of the regular season. His return may result in fewer minutes for AJ Johnson and John Poulakidas.
