Former Dallas Mavericks guard Jason Terry recently commented on Klay Thompson wearing his iconic No.

31 jersey for the Mavericks.

On Thursday, Terry, 47, coached the Mavericks vs.

Utah Jazz preseason game at the American Airlines Center.

Despite coaching on the Jazzs sidelines, he was a familiar face in Dallas.

Terry has served as an assistant coach for the Jazz since 2022.

For the first time since 2012, another Mavericks player Klay Thompson wore Terrys No.

31.

Read on for further details surrounding Terrys recent comments about Thompson.

Jason Terrys Recent Klay Thompson Comments Klay Thompson reportedly chose to wear the iconic No.

31 jersey this offseason to pay respects to Reggie Miller and Jason Terry, also known as The Jet.

Miller, 59, and Terry were Thompsons idols growing up.

Thompson signed with the Dallas Mavericks in July 2024, but Kyrie Irving was already wearing the No.

11.

Even Mavericks head coach Jason Kidd compared Thompson to Miller, as the team hasnt had a high-caliber shooter in a long time.

Thompson arguably isnt in his prime, but as a veteran sharpshooter, he can still bring something to the Mavericks table.

Terry was recently asked about Thompsons choice of No.

31.

Terrys response was rather long-winded, as he included that Thompson owed him something for choosing his former number as one of the newest Mavericks players in Dallas.

Terry told Sports Illustrated , The fact he got the headband on, too, Im elated ...

All I said is all he owes me is to make some shots.

Thats it.

Do the number right, thats it.

Make some shots.

And hell do it.

I think hes going to play with a lot to prove.

He did some great things, historical things with Golden State, and hes looking to turn a page and go to another chapter and make another mark on his legacy here with Dallas.

Theres a Catch for Klay Thompson Jason Terry enjoyed seeing Klay Thompson wear his No.

31 jersey and headband, but there was a catch for Thompson.

On Thursday, Terry told reporters that he wanted Thompson to make some shots and play with much to prove, especially after Thompsons disastrous final few years with the Golden State Warriors in San Francisco.

Its unclear if Thompson heard Terrys words, but Thompson reportedly wants to bring an NBA championship to Dallas as Terry did in the past.

The only arguable difference was that Terry was arguably the second-best player on the Mavericks roster in 2011.

Klay Thompsons Stint in Dallas So Far Klay Thompson hasnt played in a regular-season game for the Dallas Mavericks yet.

Thompson has impressed the public with his stint in Dallas so far.

He made his preseason debut on Thursday.

He finished with 10 points, shot 3-for-5 from the arc, and played arguably good defense.

Thompson admitted to the media that Thursday nights preseason game between the Mavericks and Jazz was the most nervous he had been since the 2015 NBA Finals .

He added that he just needed to get some games under his belt in Dallas.

Well see if Thompsons success will transfer into the regular season.
