Thompson signed a three-year, $50 million contract with Dallas this offseason after spending 13 years with the Warriors, the organization that selected him with the No. 11 pick in the 2011 NBA Draft.

The 34-year-old won four championships with Golden State and cemented himself as a franchise legend. The Warriors plan to retire Thompson's No. 11 jersey in the near future, likely alongside iconic teammates Steph Curry and Draymond Green when all three are retired, but in the meantime, Dub Nation can celebrate Thompson's return on Nov. 12.
