Charania Via Run It Back: "His future's been in question. We talked about on the eve of the season they're not close on a contract extension when they were discussing one before the start of the season. I'm told that the Warriors offered a deal, two years in the range of 48 million dollars in an extension to Klay Thompson before the season, and now there's no deal. We're into the season. He's gonna play it out. They're gonna play it out."
