Klay Thompson To Give 'Serious Consideration' To Playing For The Bahamas

[RealGM Wiretap]

Klay Thompson said that he would consider playing for The Bahamas should the team qualify for next year's Paris Olympics.

“When that time comes, I will give it serious consideration just because of what The Bahamas meant to the Thompson family, especially my father,” said Thompson.

Thompson represented the U.S. in both the 2014 FIBA World Cup and the 2016 Olympics.

The Bahamas is coached by Warriors assistant Chris DeMarco. 

The national team is also exploring moves for Evan and Isaiah Mobley and Naz Reid.

How could he if he’s already represented the US?

fiba makes exceptions sometimes like they did for eric gordon, i would like to add for reasons that nobody complaining has actually looked into. He wouldnt do it though for real given his injuries and the wear on his body from all those deep playoff runs.

You’d think Klay would want to play for USA in 2024 with Steph committed to play, Kerr coaching, and Draymond a strong candidate to return.

Have the Bahamas clinched a spot in the Olympics?
