In his first season with the Mavericks, Thompson averaged 14.0 points, 3.4 rebounds, and 2.0 assists across 72 games—his lowest scoring average since his rookie campaign. He shot 41.2% from the field and 39.1% from three-point range, continuing to provide his trademark floor spacing despite a dip in production.

The five-time NBA All-Star left Golden State to chase his fifth championship ring on a Dallas roster that had Luka Doncic and Kyrle Irving.
