As you’ve probably noticed, it’s a big week in Pullman.

On Monday, Nick Rolovich became the head coach of Cougar football. On Thursday, he holds his first press conference and WSU basketball hosts #8 Oregon. Then on Saturday, to cap everything off, Klay Thompson returns to Pullman to become just the second WSU basketball player to have his number retired during Washington State’s game against Oregon State.

Saturday’s ceremony for Thompson was already set to be a gigantic event. But today, we got an idea of just how big it’s going to be.

Both players are likely out for the season with injuries, allowing them to make the trip north. But they won’t be the only ones. According to to Janie McCauley, Thompson’s former teammate Zaza Pachulia and Warriors assistant GM Mike Dunleavy will also make the trip to the Palouse.

Unfortunately, other members of the Warriors will likely have to skip the event because of their home game against Orlando on Saturday night. While they might not be on hand in Pullman, a couple of them have already sent their regards on video.

On Tuesday, Thompson spoke with the media for one of the first times this season during halftime of Golden State’s game. A lot of the press conference was spent talking about Thompson’s rehab, but the talk did turn to Saturday’s ceremony in Pullman and just how much this honor means to him.

A full list of people that will be attending the ceremony has yet to be released, but you can expect plenty of Klay’s former teammates from WSU to join Curry and the representatives from the Warriors. We’ll find out together what Washington State has planned this weekend. The ceremony will take place during Washington State’s game against Oregon State. Tip off is set for 1 p.m. in Beasley Coliseum. If you can’t make it to Pullman, you can watch the game on the Pac-12 Network. And, yes, the Network says they will be carrying the halftime ceremony live.
