Warriors Release Promising Update on Stephen Curry as They Prepare for Christmas Day Matchup vs Ja Morant’s Grizzlies

Fans commented on Curry embracing his role as a veteran and senior figure on the team, while others hinted at a coaching stint for the four-time NBA champion down the road.

Even Washington Wizards forward Kyle Kuzma reacted to the incident. Here are some more reactions from NBA Twitter: 

Fans praised and appreciated Curry’s efforts to not only help his teammate but also help his team win with whatever he can offer. 

Curry leaving his legacy behind

Even though ‘The Chef’ is injured and on the sidelines, he is undoubtedly one of, if not the best shooter in NBA history. Curry’s basketball IQ along with his insane shooting make him what he is today.

Although the 34-year-old’s game does not rely on athleticism, he might be able to play a couple of more years than other veterans in the league. Warriors fans will certainly be hoping the reigning Finals MVP carries on for as long as possible.
