Thompson wore No. 11 with the Warriors. After a sign-and-trade sent him from California to Texas last summer, Thompson switched to No. 31 in tribute, the same number Miller wore in his 18 seasons with the Indiana Pacers. “I loved Reggie Miller growing up,” Thompson said. “I watched his film and game-winners my whole life. He’s always inspired me to shoot the ball and be a killer. It’s just surreal. Talk about times I prayed for. I prayed for times like that.”
