Recent Game Performances
Thompson's early season game log varies: On October 29, he scored 18 points in a 120-114 win. October 28 brought 18 points on 46.7% FG in victory. A loss followed on October 26 with 19 points.[2]

Career Shift to Mavericks
At 35, Thompson transitioned from Warriors dynasty to Dallas for a title push. His Wikipedia profile notes four rings, but 2025-26 splits reveal shooting slumps: 37.0% FG overall.[web:0][3]
ESPN and NBA.com track his guard role, with bio emphasizing Splash Brother legacy. Recent Warriors matchup on Christmas evoked nostalgia amid Mavericks' woes.[web:2][web:3]
