Warriors' Klay Thompson: Expected to leave Warriors
Rotowire
Thompson is expected to leave the Warriors in free agency, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.
The writing has been on the wall for some time, and the Warriors are prepared for this scenario, according to Charania. There's been no dialogue between the two sides in regard to a contract, and it appears both are ready to move on. Despite his age and recent injury history, Thompson is expected to have a strong market, with the Mavericks, Lakers and Clippers all reported to be interested in his services.
Thompson produced zero points (0-10 FG, 0-6 3Pt), four rebounds and one assist over 32 minutes during Tuesday's 118-94 Play-In Game loss to the Kings.
Thompson turned in arguably his worst performance of the season as the Warriors' disappointing season came to an end at the hands of the Kings. Despite a few bright spots throughout the year, it appears Thompson's days of being a reliable offensive threat could be behind him. His future remains a little clouded, but no matter where he is next season, it is unlikely he will have much fantasy value outside of points and threes.
Warriors' Klay Thompson: Scores 25 points in win over Utah
Rotowire
Thompson posted 25 points (7-13 FG, 6-12 3Pt, 5-5 FT), three rebounds, three assists and one block in 20 minutes during Sunday's 123-116 win over Utah.
Thompson experienced an uptick in his usage rate with Stephen Curry (ankle) sidelined, and he led the Warriors in scoring on the final day of the regular season. It's safe to say Thompson's days as one of the best shooting guards in the league are over, but he remains a reliable scoring weapon, as evidenced by the fact he scored 20 or more points in 31 different games this season. The Warriors will need Thompson to be at his best in the Play-In matchup against the Kings on Tuesday.
Thompson (knee) is available for Sunday's regular-season finale versus the Jazz.
Thompson was deemed questionable due to right knee tendinitis, but he is seemingly feeling good enough to give it a go. With Stephen Curry (ankle) sidelined, Thompson could see a little more action than usual on the offensive end of the court.

Warriors' Klay Thompson: Listed as questionable
Rotowire
Thompson (knee) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Jazz.
Coach Steve Kerr said Friday that he would likely rest several players for the season finale, and the Warriors' injury report reflects that with four starters carrying questionable tags, along with Jonathan Kuminga (pelvis). There's likely to be more clarity following the morning shootaround.
