Seth Curry Jokes He Tried to Buy Brother Steph's No. 30 Warriors Jersey After Contract
Seth Curry signed a one-year, $3.6 million contract with the Golden State Warriors on Wednesday, joining his older brother Stephen Curry.
At his introductory press conference on Thursday, Curry joked that he tried to buy his brother's iconic No. 30 off him to no avail.
The younger Curry began his career with the Warriors in 2013, signing a non-guaranteed contract with the team after a successful collegiate career with Liberty and Duke.
He played the 2013 preseason with Golden State but didn't make the team, instead linking up with the Warriors' G League (then D League) affiliate, the Santa Cruz Warriors.
The 35-year-old Curry has since carved out a nice NBA career, making appearances for the Memphis Grizzlies, Cleveland Cavaliers, Phoenix Suns, Sacramento Kings, Dallas Mavericks (three stints), Portland Trail Blazers, Philadelphia 76ers, Brooklyn Nets and Charlotte Hornets. He's averaged 10.0 points on 47.1 percent shooting (43.3 percent from three) in the NBA.
Curry may have not gotten No. 30, but he's close enough.
Curry was asked about playing with his brother, and he's sincerely looking forward to the opportunity at this stage of his career.
As far as the acclimation process goes, Curry is ahead of the game, in that he's watched a ton of Warriors basketball over the years.
Curry joins a Warriors team led by the trio of his brother, Jimmy Butler and Draymond Green and flanked by a solid supporting cast including Jonathan Kuminga, Buddy Hield and Brandin Podziemski. The big newcomer is veteran big man Al Horford, who will be asked to fill the void left by veteran Kevon Looney, now a New Orleans Pelican after signing a two-year deal with them in free agency.
Curry will add some backcourt depth and shooting off the bench. He's a fantastic shooter from deep, hitting 45.6 percent of his threes last year for the Hornets.
Curry joins the team as training camp is just underway. The Warriors' first preseason game will be Sunday at home versus the Los Angeles Lakers.
