Curry Poses With Thompson, Climbs Scoring List
Fans who want to see the Curry-Thompson pairing again can watch for the next Warriors home game at Chase Center.
Updated on Nov. 6, 2026 in Basketball
Golden State fans who remember the Curry-Thompson years got a reunion of sorts on Thursday at Chase Center, when Stephen Curry stopped mid-possession to pose for a picture with his former teammate. The moment came as Curry moved to 17th on the NBA all-time scoring list.
Why it matters
For Warriors fans in the city, the sight of Curry and Klay Thompson sharing the floor again, even briefly, is a reminder of the four championships the two won together, including the 2022 title. The moment also comes while Curry is putting up 30.0 points a game and climbing the league's career scoring ranks.
Curry is averaging 30.0 points per game this season and scored 29 against the Miami Heat, while moving to 17th on the NBA all-time scoring list by passing Oscar Robertson. Curry and Thompson won four NBA championships together, including one in 2022, and the stub does not indicate how often they have met on the court since Thompson left for Dallas in 2024.
The players
Stephen Curry
Golden State Warriors guard who is averaging 30.0 points per game this season and moved to 17th on the NBA all-time scoring list.
Klay Thompson
Former Warriors guard who won four NBA championships alongside Curry before moving to Dallas in 2024.
The details
Curry, guarding Thompson mid-game at Chase Center on Thursday, posed for pictures at a fan's request, striking several poses including a wide smile, a thumbs-up, and a point at his former teammate. A fan shared a clip of the moment on X, and fans had urged Curry to pose with Thompson after seeing the two together. Thompson moved to Dallas in 2024, so the moment was a rare visual reunion on the floor rather than a formal event.
Timeline
2022: Curry and Thompson win their fourth championship together.
2024: Thompson moves to Dallas and the two part ways.

Across the Bay
The pairing ties back to the four championships Curry and Thompson won together, including the 2022 title that anchored the Warriors' recent run. Thompson's 2024 move to Dallas ended that partnership on the roster, which is why a mid-game photo at Chase Center drew this much attention.
If you're heading to Chase Center for a Warriors game, you may see Curry working the crowd for photos the way he did Thursday, so check the arena schedule before you go. Watch for the next home game to see whether the scoring pace he's on continues.
The takeaway
The moment was small, but it captured how much the Curry-Thompson era still means to Warriors fans. Watch the next home game at Chase Center to see whether Curry keeps his 30-point pace and whether the scoring climb continues.
