Klay Thompson is reportedly expected to sign with the Miami Heat after securing a contract buyout from the Dallas Mavericks and clearing waivers. The move would see the veteran shooter join the Heat roster, spurning a potential homecoming with the Los Angeles Lakers.
ESPN NBA insider Shams Charania reported that Thompson is set to join the Heat. The Lakers had been linked to acquiring Thompson, with reports suggesting he could provide additional shooting alongside Luka Doncic. Thompson grew up with ties to the Lakers organization, as his father, Mychal Thompson, was a two-time NBA champion with the team in the late 1980s. He also resides in the Los Angeles area.
