"Went From Splash Bro to Worse Than Brick Angel Reese": Fans Rip Klay Thompson as Horror Stats Show Mavs Guard Outshot by WNBA Star

Klay Thompson is currently going through a dramatic slump with the Dallas Mavericks. With five defeats in the 2025-26 season after Monday’s 110-102 loss to the Houston Rockets, Thompson’s numbers are alarming, as he was once again held to single-digit scoring, his fourth such game this season.

On Wednesday, Polymarket published data showing that the Warriors legend is shooting worse than WNBA star Angel Reese through the first seven games of their respective seasons.

According to the data, Thompson is averaging 8.1 points on 26% shooting from 3-point range, both worse than Reese’s 9.1 points and 33% from deep.

The numbers are a stark contrast to Thompson's usual output, as he has been a consistent 3-point shooter throughout his career.

Fans react as Klay Thompson shoots worse than Angel Reese in shocking stat

Klay Thompson, now in his 14th NBA season, has long been considered one of the league’s best plug-and-play shooters, a key part of his game that made him such a threat to opponents.

After averaging 17.9 points per game last season, his scoring has dropped to 8.1 this year. His 3-point shooting has followed the same pattern, falling from 39.1% to 26.2%̣, both career lows.

Unfortunately, his slump has come as the Mavericks’ offense continues to sputter this year in Kyrie Irving’s absence. Coach Jason Kidd has been using rookie Cooper Flagg as the primary ballhandler, a move that has taken longer than expected to winning results. Of the 15 games this season where a team’s offensive rating dipped below 101.0, Dallas accounts for five, more than any other team.

Viral Clip Shows Klay Thompson’s Furious Outburst After Another Poor Outing

Klay Thompson made his frustrations known as he lashed out at water bottles on his way out of the tunnel after the Mavericks’ loss on Monday night.

He finished the game with five points, three rebounds and three assists on 2-of-9 shooting from the floor and 1-of-8 from 3-point range.

There have been glimpses of Thompson that lit up the NBA for much of the Warriors’ dynasty, but it has been far from smooth sailing since his move to the Mavericks.

The next few months will offer more detail about this slump, but the numbers currently don’t make for pleasant reading.
