The Curry brothers might’ve fussed a bit over jersey numbers, but their excitement to finally play together was crystal clear. Stephen Curry couldn’t be happier to reunite with his brother and share a locker room for the first time in the NBA. Sure, there might be one grumpy face in the Curry household, but Steph’s joy was impossible to miss. Still, that long-awaited reunion has hit a brief pause, thanks to recent updates on Seth’s side.

Per an update from Dalton Johnson of NBC Sports Bay Area on X, “Seth Curry is not playing tonight. Steve Kerr says it’s just because he came in late and nothing is wrong with him physically.” The younger Curry sat out Sunday’s preseason game against the Los Angeles Lakers, with reports suggesting he’s still ramping up before officially joining the Warriors’ rotation. Fans can now look forward to a potential debut on Wednesday against the Trail Blazers.

Meanwhile, over in the Bay, the Warriors are using tonight’s game to test out their newly shaped roster, and there’s plenty to watch. Six-time All-Star Jimmy Butler, who missed a couple of practices after tweaking his ankle, is suiting up after Steve Kerr confirmed he’s good to go, much to the fans’ relief. 

Alongside him, Steph Curry, Draymond Green, and Al Horford are also getting some early-season minutes. All are expected to play around 15 minutes in the first half before taking a seat. Horford, who just signed with the team a few days ago, will be one to watch as the Warriors tap into his shooting and veteran presence. Jonathan Kuminga is also back in action, fresh off inking a two-year, $48.5 million deal after months of speculation about his future.

As for Seth Curry, he’s sitting this one out. The Warriors recently signed him on an Exhibit 9 contract, which lets him stay through training camp and the preseason. The team must waive him before the regular season to remain under the cap limit, but can re-sign him as the 15th man by November 11.

And if you spot a Curry on the court with No. 31 on Wednesday, don’t get confused, that’ll be Seth, not Stephen. Steph isn’t giving up his number, even for his younger brother. “He said he didn’t need the money,” Seth joked while trying to buy the jersey from Steph.

It makes sense when you look at Seth’s journey: he’s worn plenty of numbers over the years. He started with No. 1 during his Grizzlies debut in 2013-14, switched to No. 31 with the Cavs, tried No. 10 with the Suns, and first wore No. 30 with the Kings in 2015-16. Since his Nets days in 2021-22, No. 30 has been his preferred number.

Stephen Curry, of course, has worn No. 30 since his college days at Davidson, honoring his father, a number so meaningful it was retired by the school in 2022. Now in the Golden State, Stephen keeps No. 30, while Seth adapts to a new number. As for Dell Curry, he’s not thrilled to see his younger son in a Warriors jersey, though the number itself isn’t bothering him.

Dell Curry is hesitant about Seth Curry joining Warriors

After 76 games in a Charlotte Hornets jersey, Seth Curry is heading back to the Bay. The 35-year-old sharpshooter has signed on with the Golden State Warriors, bringing his elite marksmanship to a team that knows a thing or two about long-range excellence.

Curry was lights-out last season, leading the NBA with a scorching 45.6% from three. His time in Charlotte may have been brief, but it was memorable. He arrived in February 2024 as part of a trade from Dallas that sent Grant Williams and a 2027 first-round pick to the Hornets in exchange for P.J. Washington and future assets.

In 68 games, Seth averaged 6.5 points, 1.7 rebounds, and 0.9 assists, once again proving that few players can match his efficiency from deep. But not everyone is celebrating his West Coast move. One person in particular- Hornets legend Dell Curry- isn’t thrilled.

Having his son play in Charlotte allowed Dell to watch him up close, share the same city, and reconnect through the game they both love. Now, with Seth headed to Golden State, that chapter closes. “Everybody’s excited about me joining the Warriors,” Seth admitted during his introductory press conference.

“Except maybe my dad. He didn’t want me to leave Charlotte.” Dell Curry is no longer with the Charlotte Hornets broadcast team as of the 2025–26 NBA season; he has transitioned to a new role as an analyst for Amazon’s national NBA broadcast team.

Curry had served as the Hornets’ color commentator alongside Eric Collins for many years, becoming an iconic voice for the franchise. His move to Amazon means he will not be part of the Hornets’ local broadcasts in the upcoming season.

Still, Seth is all-in on this next chapter, mainly because it means finally playing with his older brother, Steph. “It feels like a good time in both of our careers for me to be here.”

Seth laughed, saying it was ironic that last year Steve Kerr and Mike Dunleavy kept asking him if he’d ever want to play alongside Steph, since he’d mentioned before that being on the same team wasn’t really his plan. “But it’s good to be here at this stage.”

And let’s not forget, Seth already has some Warriors street cred from his G League days with Santa Cruz, where he averaged 19.7 points and 5.8 assists in 38 games. Now he finally gets the chance to lace up for the main roster, and this time, he is side by side with his big brother.
