Klay Thompson’s future with the Golden State Warriors is unclear.
The 34-year-old NBA star is set to hit the free agent market later this month. The Warriors drafted Thompson in the first round in 2011 and he spent his entire NBA career with the Warriors, but his performance over the past few seasons has been inconsistent as he has grown older and been plagued by injuries.
Amid the growing uncertainty, Thompson appeared to unfollow the Warriors on Instagram, but as of Sunday morning, he still appeared to be following the Warriors’ G League affiliate, the Santa Cruz Warriors.
