The Los Angeles Lakers' search for another proven wing could lead them back to Klay Thompson, with the Dallas Mavericks reportedly exploring the trade market for the veteran sharpshooter ahead of the 2026-27 NBA season.
Thompson, who nearly joined Los Angeles before signing with Dallas in 2024, would be receptive to returning to the city, according to The Athletic's Christian Clark. The 36-year-old spent part of his childhood in the Los Angeles area and maintains a home nearby.
