Klay Thompson and the Golden State Warriors have remained far apart on a contract extension, which has led him to try to not even think about it at all and focus on his process on the court.

“I’m focused on just the daily dedication it takes to do this job," said Thompson. "I’m not really worried about an extension right now. That it will all play itself out."

Thompson was asked whether that has essentially led him to put an unofficial deadline on the talks with the regular season now underway.

"I just don't want to think about it. I don't like thinking about it."

Thompson re-signed with the Warriors in 2019 after tearing his ACL during Game 6 of The Finals.
