Klay Thompson Becomes Emotional as WSU Retires Jersey

PULLLMAN, Wash. — Whenever Isaac Bonton drained a three-pointer or dished out an assist, NBA and Washington State great Klay Thompson was on his feet, cheering on the young point guard.

Thompson ended up spending a lot of time on his feet as Bonton scored a career-high 34 points and Washington State beat Oregon State 89-76 on Saturday in front of a packed house that saw Thompson’s jersey retired.

Two-time NBA MVP Stephen Curry was in attendance as his Golden State Warriors teammate and fellow “Splash Brother” had his No. 1 jersey hung for perpetuity in the rafters of an unusually raucous Beasley Coliseum.
