Klay Thompson officially signs with the Miami Heat

On August 24, 2026, the Miami Heat officially announced the acquisition of veteran NBA guard Klay Thompson. The 36-year-old athlete joins the Florida-based team to bolster their roster as they look to contend for an NBA championship in the upcoming season.

During his time with the Dallas Mavericks last season, Thompson averaged 11.7 points, 2.1 rebounds, and 1.4 assists over 69 games, shooting 38.3% from the three-point range in an average of 21.7 minutes. Throughout his 13-year career, which includes his tenure with the Golden State Warriors and the Mavericks, the shooting guard has maintained a career average of 18.6 points and 41% shooting from behind the arc across 934 regular-season games.

This move comes after Thompson’s departure from the Dallas Mavericks. The Heat organization confirmed the signing on social media, welcoming the veteran as a major addition to the squad as they prepare to compete at the highest level in the league.
