Mavericks' Klay Thompson Celebrates 36 With Megan Thee Stallion

Merlin sees Klay Thompson celebrate his 36th birthday with a big bash staged by girlfriend Megan Thee Stallion, complete with a beach lunch and a live set from Bone Thugs-N-Harmony. Megan posted video of the surprises and Thompson, usually stoic, let loose dancing to the group he called his "favorite rap group" growing up, whose concert was the first he ever attended. The pair have been dating since 2025. Off the court the picture is sharper and tougher. The Mavericks are 19-33 and mired in a seven-game losing streak before Tuesday’s trip to Phoenix. Merlin knows a joyful night can recharge a veteran, but breaking a skid will take consistent team fixes. Still, a relaxed Klay could be the spark Dallas needs for at least one brighter game.
