Golden State Warriors' Klay Thompson paid tribute to his late friend and former NFL player Gavin Escobar at the Warriors-Mavericks game on Wednesday night. Thompson arrived at the American Airlines Arena sporting Escobar's No. 89 Dallas Cowboys jersey. Thompson and Escobar were from Rancho Santa Margarita in California, where they attended Santa Margarita Catholic High School. Escobar, who played for the Cowboys for four seasons, died tragically in September 2022 at the age of 31 in a rock-climbing accident, leaving behind a wife and two children. Thompson's gesture to honor his friend went viral on social media, with fans commending the NBA star for the heartfelt tribute.
