Seth Curry
Seth Curry (born August 23, 1990) is an American professional basketball player known for his elite three-point shooting, currently ranking seventh in NBA history for career three-point field goal percentage among players with at least 400 attempts made.[1] Standing at 6 feet 1 inch tall, he plays primarily as a shooting guard and has appeared in 606 regular-season games across 12 NBA seasons (entering his 13th in 2025–26), averaging 10.2 points, 1.9 rebounds, and 1.8 assists per game while shooting 43.5% from three-point range.[2] The son of former NBA player and broadcaster Dell Curry and younger brother of four-time NBA champion Stephen Curry, Seth Curry went undrafted out of Duke University in 2013 but carved out a journeyman career as a sharpshooter for multiple teams.[3][4] Curry's professional journey began in the NBA G League with the Santa Cruz Warriors in 2013–14, where he earned All-Star honors in 2014 and 2015 during stints affiliated with the Cleveland Cavaliers and Phoenix Suns.[5] He made his NBA debut with the Memphis Grizzlies later that season, appearing in three games before brief tenures with the Cavaliers (2013–14), Suns (2014–15), and Sacramento Kings (2015–16).[2] Establishing himself as a reliable perimeter threat, Curry signed with the Dallas Mavericks in 2016, where he played his first stint from 2016 to 2018 (134 games over the 2016–17 and 2017–18 seasons), returned in 2019–20 (59 games), and had a third stint in 2023–24 (50 games), averaging 11.3 points with 42.7% three-point shooting in 2019–20.[2] His career peaked offensively in 2021–22, when he averaged a career-high 15.0 points per game across stints with the Philadelphia 76ers and Brooklyn Nets, contributing to playoff runs with both teams.[6] Throughout his NBA tenure, Curry has suited up for ten franchises, including the Portland Trail Blazers (2018–19), Philadelphia 76ers (2020–22), Brooklyn Nets (2022–23), Dallas Mavericks (2023–24), Charlotte Hornets (2024–25), and Golden State Warriors (2025–present), appearing in 41 playoff games with a high of 18.8 points per game during the 2021 playoffs.[2] In the 2024–25 season with the Hornets, he led the NBA in three-point percentage at 45.6% while averaging 6.5 points in 68 games, earning the league's three-point percentage championship.[7] After the season, Curry signed with the Golden State Warriors on November 13, 2025, reuniting with his brother Stephen.[8]Early life
Seth Adham Curry was born on August 23, 1990, in Charlotte, North Carolina.[9] He is the second son of former NBA player Dell Curry and Sonya Curry (née Adams), a former volleyball player.[4] Curry has an older brother, Stephen Curry, a four-time NBA champion, and a younger sister, Sydel Curry.[10] The family resided in Charlotte during Dell Curry's tenure with the Charlotte Hornets, where basketball was a central part of their household.[11] Curry attended Charlotte Christian School, graduating in 2008. He was a four-year letterwinner in basketball, helping the team achieve a 105–24 record over his career and reach the state finals in his senior year.[12] He also played football during high school.[13]College career
Liberty Flames
Curry joined Liberty University as a freshman for the 2008–09 season, where he quickly emerged as a key contributor for the Flames despite entering from a high school career impacted by injuries.[14] Playing in all 35 games and starting 34, he averaged 20.2 points, 4.4 rebounds, and 2.3 assists per game while shooting 41.7% from the field and 34.7% from three-point range, leading the team in scoring and helping Liberty finish 23–12 overall and 12–6 in Big South Conference play.[15] His performance earned him the Big South Conference Freshman of the Year award, as well as second-team All-Conference honors, recognizing his role as the highest-scoring freshman in the league at the time.[16] Following the college season, Curry represented the United States at the 2009 FIBA Under-19 World Championship in Auckland, New Zealand, where he averaged 9.0 points and 2.2 rebounds across nine games.[17] As part of a talented roster, he contributed to the Americans' gold medal victory, defeating Greece 88–80 in the final, with notable performances including 12 points against France during preliminary rounds. After one standout year at Liberty, Curry announced his decision to transfer, citing a desire to compete at a higher level and further develop his skills against stronger opponents. He expressed gratitude for his experience with the Flames but sought new opportunities to maximize his potential as a basketball player.[18]Duke Blue Devils
After transferring from Liberty University in 2009, Seth Curry sat out the 2009–10 season at Duke per NCAA transfer rules, using the time to adjust to the program's intensity and improve his physical conditioning.[12] He became eligible to play starting in the 2010–11 season, marking the first of three productive years with the Blue Devils. In his debut season at Duke during 2010–11, Curry served primarily as a reserve guard, appearing in all 37 games while making 19 starts and averaging 9.0 points, 1.8 rebounds, and 2.0 assists per game, with shooting splits of 42.3% from the field and 43.5% from three-point range.[19] He reached double figures in scoring 17 times, contributing to Duke's run to the Sweet Sixteen in the NCAA Tournament, where the Blue Devils fell to Arizona. The following year, 2011–12, Curry elevated his role, starting 32 of 34 games and boosting his output to 13.2 points per game on 42.0% field goal shooting and 38.3% from beyond the arc, while earning Third-Team All-ACC honors for his efficient scoring and perimeter defense.[19] Duke advanced to the tournament's second round that season before a loss to Louisville.[20] Curry's senior campaign in 2012–13 represented his peak performance, as he started all 35 games and averaged 17.5 points per game—second on the team—shooting 46.5% from the field and 43.8% from three-point range, while leading the ACC in free-throw percentage at 87.3%.[19] He earned Second-Team All-ACC recognition and was twice named ACC Player of the Week (December 31, 2012, and March 11, 2013), highlighting games like his 31-point outburst against Miami.[21][22] Additionally, he was selected to the USBWA All-District team.[12] Duke reached the Sweet Sixteen again, defeating NC State before losing to Louisville, with Curry averaging 14.3 points in the tournament.[19] Over his three seasons at Duke, Curry appeared in 106 games, totaling 1,394 points for a 13.2 points-per-game average, and played a key role in three NCAA Tournament appearances without advancing to the Final Four.[19] Following the 2012–13 season, Curry declared for the 2013 NBA draft and went undrafted, opting to pursue professional opportunities overseas and in the G League.[2]Professional career
Santa Cruz Warriors (2013–2014)
After being waived by the Golden State Warriors in October 2013, Seth Curry joined their NBA G League affiliate, the Santa Cruz Warriors, in November 2013 as an allocated player.[23] In his D-League debut on November 22, 2013, Curry scored 36 points on 12-of-19 shooting, including efficient three-point shooting, signaling his potential as a sharpshooter.[24] Over the course of the 2013–14 season, he appeared in 38 regular-season games for Santa Cruz, averaging 19.7 points, 5.8 assists, and 3.1 rebounds per game while shooting 37.2 percent from three-point range.[25] His scoring efficiency and playmaking ability highlighted the shooting prowess developed during his college career at Duke.[26] Curry's standout performances earned him a selection to the Eastern Conference roster for the 2014 NBA D-League All-Star Game, where he was recognized as one of the league's top rising talents.[26] This exposure underscored his value as a perimeter threat, drawing interest from NBA scouts and leading to call-up opportunities during the season.[27] In the playoffs, Curry contributed significantly, including a career-high 44 points in the conference quarterfinals against the South Bay Lakers on April 10, 2014.[28] With Curry's help, the Santa Cruz Warriors finished the regular season with a 29–21 record, securing second place in the Western Conference.[29] The team advanced through the postseason, defeating the South Bay Lakers 2–0 in the conference quarterfinals and the Rio Grande Valley Vipers 3–1 in the conference semifinals before falling 0–2 to the Fort Wayne Mad Ants in the finals.[30]Memphis Grizzlies (2013–2014)
On December 24, 2013, Seth Curry signed a 10-day contract with the Memphis Grizzlies, earning a call-up from the NBA Development League's Santa Cruz Warriors amid injuries in the team's backcourt.[24] Curry made his NBA debut on January 5, 2014, during a road game against the Detroit Pistons, entering in the fourth quarter for 4 minutes and 5 seconds of playing time but recording no points, rebounds, or assists on 0-for-0 shooting.[31][32] This brief appearance marked his only game with the Grizzlies, as the team waived him later that day without extending the contract.[31] During the 2013–14 season, the Grizzlies embodied their "Grit and Grind" identity, a defensive-oriented style emphasizing physicality and team toughness that led to a 50–32 record and a second-round playoff appearance.[33] The team's deep guard rotation, featuring starters Mike Conley and Jerryd Bayless alongside reserves like Tony Allen and rookie Nick Calathes, provided limited opportunities for end-of-bench players like Curry, who averaged 0.0 points per game in his solitary outing. Following his release, Curry returned to the Santa Cruz Warriors to continue his development in the D League.[31]Return to Santa Cruz Warriors (2014)
Following his waiver by the Memphis Grizzlies on January 5, 2014, Curry was reacquired by the Santa Cruz Warriors of the NBA Development League four days later.[23] Curry appeared in the remaining regular-season games for Santa Cruz, averaging 19.7 points, 5.8 assists, and 37.2% shooting from three-point range across his 38 total regular-season outings with the team that year.[25] His efficient scoring and playmaking helped anchor the Warriors' backcourt as they finished with a 17-13 record in the Western Conference.[34] In the playoffs, Curry elevated his production, averaging 24.6 points and 4.9 assists over seven games while shooting 40.3% from beyond the arc, aiding Santa Cruz in advancing to the D-League Finals for the second straight season.[25] His standout play earned him selection to the 2014 NBA D-League All-Star Game as a Futures roster member, as well as All-NBA D-League Second Team and All-Rookie honors.[35][36] Scouting evaluations from the period praised Curry's enhanced ball-handling, which supported his low turnover rate relative to his assist totals, along with solid on-ball defense that contributed 1.4 steals per game during the regular season.[25][37] This consistent excellence in the D-League generated renewed interest from NBA franchises seeking perimeter depth.[36]Cleveland Cavaliers (2014)
On March 21, 2014, Seth Curry signed a 10-day contract with the Cleveland Cavaliers amid the team's injury challenges.[27] Curry appeared in one game during his brief NBA stint with Cleveland. In his Cavaliers debut on March 22 against the Houston Rockets, he entered as a substitute and scored 3 points on 1-of-3 shooting (1-of-1 from three-point range) in 8 minutes and 50 seconds of action, adding 1 rebound and 2 steals. Curry did not play on March 23 against the New York Knicks.[38] Curry's contract expired on March 30, 2014, after which the Cavaliers chose not to retain him.[39]Erie BayHawks (2014–2015)
In October 2014, the Erie BayHawks acquired Seth Curry's returning player rights from the Santa Cruz Warriors in a trade for a 2015 first-round pick, positioning him with the team as the NBA Development League affiliate of the Orlando Magic. Curry made his debut for Erie on November 14, 2014, in the season opener, where he scored 23 points on 9-of-24 shooting to help the BayHawks secure a 116-106 victory over the Idaho Stampede.[40][41] Over the course of the 2014–15 season, Curry emerged as one of the league's premier scorers and shooters, appearing in 43 games while starting 42 and averaging 36.9 minutes per contest. He posted per-game averages of 23.8 points, 4.2 assists, and 3.8 rebounds, converting 48.4% of his field goal attempts and a league-leading 46.7% of his three-point tries (3.6 made on 7.8 attempts). Additionally, Curry topped the G League in free-throw percentage at 92.6% (172-of-186). These figures ranked him third in scoring and first in three-pointers made (156), underscoring his efficiency as a perimeter threat.[25][42] Curry's dominance earned him selection to the 2015 NBA D-League All-Star Game as an Eastern Conference representative, his second such honor following his 2014 appearance with Santa Cruz. He also garnered All-NBA D-League First Team recognition for his contributions. A highlight of the season came on December 20, 2014, when Curry erupted for 38 points on 14-of-19 shooting (including 6-of-9 from three-point range), powering the BayHawks to a 123-110 win over the Iowa Energy.[43][44] Throughout the campaign, Curry's sharpshooting and scoring consistency—coupled with his All-Star nod—cemented his status as an elite G League talent, consistently drawing interest from NBA personnel evaluating perimeter specialists.[45]Phoenix Suns (2015)
On March 11, 2015, Seth Curry signed a 10-day contract with the Phoenix Suns to bolster backcourt depth amid injuries, particularly to guard Brandon Knight, who had suffered an ankle sprain.[46][47] At the time, Curry was averaging 23.5 points per game with the Erie BayHawks of the NBA Development League, showcasing his sharpshooting ability on 50.9% field goal, 44.3% three-point, and 91.7% free-throw shooting splits.[46] During his brief stint, Curry appeared in two games for the Suns, logging a total of 7 minutes and 48 seconds without recording a point.[2] He made his NBA debut with Phoenix on the day of his signing, playing 1 minute and 14 seconds against the Minnesota Timberwolves in a 106-97 victory, where he missed his only three-point attempt (0-1 FG).[48] Three days later, on March 15, he saw 6 minutes and 34 seconds of action against the New York Knicks in another win, 102-89, going 0-for-2 from the field while adding 2 rebounds and 1 assist.[48] These limited appearances came as the Suns, holding a 32-35 record at the time, mounted a late-season push for a playoff spot in the competitive Western Conference.[49] Curry's contract expired after 10 days, and the Suns released him on March 20, 2015, to sign A.J. Price to another 10-day deal.[50] He was not offered a longer-term deal with Phoenix for the 2015-16 season, as the team ultimately finished 39-43 and missed the playoffs.[49]Return to Erie BayHawks (2015)
After his 10-day contract with the Phoenix Suns expired on March 21, 2015, Seth Curry returned to the Erie BayHawks to finish the 2014–15 G League regular season.[51] Upon rejoining the team, Curry played in their final seven games, delivering a strong close to the campaign by scoring at least 24 points in five of those contests.[52] Over the full 2014–15 season with Erie, Curry appeared in 43 games (42 starts), averaging 23.8 points, 3.9 rebounds, 4.2 assists, and 1.4 steals per game while shooting 48.4% from the field and a league-high 46.7% from three-point range on 7.8 attempts per game.[25] His elite shooting efficiency and scoring prowess earned him a spot on the All-NBA D-League First Team. Curry's consistent production in the G League, particularly his return to form after the NBA stint, highlighted his readiness for a more permanent NBA role, which materialized with a contract from the Sacramento Kings that summer.Sacramento Kings (2015–2016)
On July 22, 2015, Seth Curry signed a two-year contract with the Sacramento Kings worth approximately $2 million, securing his first multi-year deal in the NBA following strong performances in the NBA Summer League and G League.[53][54] During the 2015–16 season, Curry appeared in 50 games for the Kings, making one start, and averaged 5.0 points, 1.4 rebounds, and 1.5 assists per game in 12.8 minutes of play, while shooting 42.2 percent from three-point range on 2.5 attempts.[2] His role was primarily as a reserve sharpshooter during the Kings' rebuilding efforts under general manager Vlade Divac, where the team finished 33–49 and missed the playoffs for the ninth consecutive year.[55] Curry shared the backcourt with point guards Rajon Rondo, acquired in a midseason trade, and Darren Collison, providing spot-up shooting opportunities amid Sacramento's young core centered on DeMarcus Cousins.[56] One of Curry's standout performances came on March 28, 2016, when he scored a season-high 21 points on 9-of-17 shooting, including 3-of-6 from three, in a 105–93 loss to the Portland Trail Blazers.[57] Following the season, Curry declined his $1.01 million player option for 2016–17 to become a restricted free agent; the Kings subsequently rescinded his qualifying offer on July 3, 2016, allowing him to enter unrestricted free agency and facilitating roster flexibility for the team.[58][59]Dallas Mavericks (2016–2018)
After being waived by the Sacramento Kings, Seth Curry signed a two-year, $5,926,410 contract with the Dallas Mavericks on July 15, 2016.[60] In the 2016–17 season, Curry experienced a breakout performance, appearing in 70 games while making 42 starts, and averaging 12.8 points, 2.6 rebounds, and 2.7 assists in 29.0 minutes per game.[2] He shot an efficient 48.1% from the field and a career-best 42.5% from three-point range on 3.5 attempts per game, emerging as one of the league's top perimeter shooters that year.[2] Under head coach Rick Carlisle, Curry developed into a key offensive piece, leveraging his quick release and off-the-dribble creation to complement the team's spacing needs, often running pick-and-rolls and contributing to Dallas's improved late-game execution with clutch scoring.[61][62] Defensively, he averaged 1.1 steals per game with a 106.1 defensive rating, using his quick hands and positioning to disrupt opponents on the perimeter.[2] The following 2017–18 season proved challenging, as Curry sat out all 82 games due to a stress reaction in his left tibia diagnosed in October 2017, which sidelined him indefinitely before requiring season-ending surgery in February 2018.[63][64] Despite the injury setback, his prior contributions solidified his value, leading the Mavericks in win shares at 4.6 during the 2016–17 campaign.[65] Across his two seasons with Dallas, Curry appeared in 70 games total, averaging 12.8 points while shooting over 42% from beyond the arc.[2]Portland Trail Blazers (2018–2019)
On July 6, 2018, Curry signed a two-year contract with the Portland Trail Blazers worth approximately $5.6 million, with the first year guaranteed at $2.75 million and a player option for the second year.[66] The deal positioned him as a free agent acquisition following his time with the Dallas Mavericks, where he had missed the entire 2017–18 season due to injury. In the 2018–19 regular season, Curry played in 74 games for Portland, starting just 2, and averaged 7.9 points, 1.6 rebounds, and 0.9 assists per game while shooting 45.0% from three-point range on 3.4 attempts.[2] As a reliable bench guard, he complemented the starting backcourt of Damian Lillard and CJ McCollum by providing efficient catch-and-shoot opportunities and defensive versatility, often serving as a key reserve shooter in Portland's rotation.[67] Curry appeared in all 16 of Portland's 2019 playoff games, averaging 5.6 points per game overall with a 40.4% three-point shooting mark. His role expanded during the Western Conference Finals against the Golden State Warriors, where he averaged 6.3 points and 1.5 three-pointers made per game at 37.5% from deep across four contests in the series loss.[68] After the season, Curry declined his $2.85 million player option for 2019–20, entering unrestricted free agency to pursue a more lucrative long-term deal.[69]Return to Dallas Mavericks (2019–2020)
In July 2019, Seth Curry signed a four-year, $32 million contract to return to the Dallas Mavericks, the team he had played for from 2016 to 2018.[70] The deal provided Curry with long-term security after a solid season with the Portland Trail Blazers, where he had established himself as a reliable sharpshooter.[69] During the 2019–20 regular season, which was shortened and disrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic, Curry appeared in 64 of the Mavericks' 75 games, averaging 12.4 points, 2.3 rebounds, and 1.9 assists per game while shooting 49.5% from the field and a career-high 45.2% from three-point range.[2] His efficient scoring, particularly off the bench, complemented the Mavericks' young core, including Luka Dončić and Kristaps Porziņģis, by stretching defenses and creating space for drives and post-ups.[71] Curry's on-court chemistry with Dončić and Porziņģis was evident in their shared lineups, where the trio's spacing and ball movement led to high-efficiency offenses, helping Dallas finish seventh in the Western Conference with a 43–32 record.[72] In the NBA bubble playoffs, Curry emerged as a key contributor for the Mavericks in their first-round series against the Los Angeles Clippers, averaging 12.8 points per game on 58.5% field goal shooting and 47.6% from three across six games. His performances, including multiple games with efficient three-point barrages, provided crucial offensive support amid Dallas's 2–4 series loss.[73] Prior to the 2020–21 season, Curry was traded away from the Mavericks.[74]Philadelphia 76ers (2020–2022)
On November 18, 2020, the Philadelphia 76ers acquired Seth Curry from the Dallas Mavericks in exchange for guard Josh Richardson and the 36th overall pick in the 2020 NBA draft.[74] This move, executed on draft night, aimed to bolster the team's perimeter shooting to complement stars Joel Embiid and Ben Simmons, addressing spacing issues that had plagued Philadelphia's offense in prior seasons.[75] Curry, who was married to the daughter of new head coach Doc Rivers, quickly integrated into the rotation as a reliable off-ball shooter.[74] In the 2020–21 season, Curry appeared in 57 games for the 76ers, all as starts, averaging 12.5 points per game while shooting 45.0 percent from three-point range on 4.9 attempts.[2] His efficiency from beyond the arc—leading the NBA among qualifiers that year—proved instrumental in opening driving lanes for Embiid and Simmons, earning praise from teammates for enhancing the team's floor spacing. Embiid specifically lauded Curry's consistency, noting after a January 2021 win that he "doesn't know if [Curry] ever misses" from deep, highlighting his role in a 6-for-6 start from three in that game. The 76ers finished with a 49–23 record, securing the Eastern Conference's top seed, and Curry contributed significantly in the playoffs, averaging 18.8 points across 12 games at 47.4 percent from three, though Philadelphia fell to the Atlanta Hawks in the second round.[76] Curry's second season with the 76ers in 2021–22 marked a career-high in scoring efficiency before his departure, as he played 45 games, averaging 15.0 points per game and 40.0 percent from three-point range.[2] He continued to excel as a complementary piece to Embiid, posting historic shooting splits that made him the most effective perimeter partner for the center during his Philadelphia tenure, with the duo thriving in pick-and-pop actions and off-ball movement. Simmons and Embiid both credited offseason additions like Curry for improving spacing, allowing Simmons to facilitate more effectively and Embiid to operate in the post without congestion.[77] On February 10, 2022, Curry was traded to the Brooklyn Nets as part of a blockbuster deal that sent James Harden to Philadelphia in exchange for Simmons, Andre Drummond, and draft picks, ending his stint with the 76ers amid their push for contention.[78] The 76ers advanced to the Eastern Conference semifinals that postseason but were eliminated by the Miami Heat in six games.[79]Brooklyn Nets (2022–2023)
In the 2022–23 season, Seth Curry provided reliable perimeter shooting from the bench for the Brooklyn Nets during a period of significant roster upheaval.[80] He missed the first five games while recovering from arthroscopic surgery on his left ankle, performed in May 2022 to address lingering soreness from the prior season.[81] Once returning on October 28, 2022, Curry appeared in 61 games, mostly as a reserve, averaging 19.9 minutes per game.[2] Curry's contributions included 9.2 points, 1.6 rebounds, and 1.6 assists per game, with an effective field goal percentage of 57.7% driven by his 40.5% success rate on three-pointers (2.4 makes per game).[82] He peaked in January 2023, averaging 15.4 points while shooting 51.4% from the field and 50.0% from beyond the arc over 12 games, helping stabilize the offense amid early-season turbulence.[80] Early in the campaign, Curry complemented stars Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving by spacing the floor in lineups that emphasized offensive firepower, though defensive concerns persisted.[83] Irving's trade to the Dallas Mavericks on February 6, 2023, followed by Durant's move to the Phoenix Suns three days later, marked the end of the Nets' contending core and shifted the team into a transitional rebuild. The Nets finished 32–50, missing the playoffs for the first time since 2018. Curry maintained a steady bench role through the instability, logging increased minutes late in the season but averaging just 4.5 points over his final eight games as the focus turned to younger players.[84] As an unrestricted free agent following the expiration of his contract, he departed Brooklyn after the season.[69]Third stint with Dallas Mavericks (2023–2024)
On July 14, 2023, Seth Curry signed a two-year contract with the Dallas Mavericks, marking his third stint with the franchise after being waived by the Brooklyn Nets earlier that offseason.[85][86] The deal reunited him with a familiar organization where he had previously thrived as a sharpshooter, providing depth to the backcourt alongside Luka Dončić and Kyrie Irving. Curry was expected to serve as a reliable reserve option, leveraging his career 43.1% three-point shooting to space the floor for Dallas's star-driven offense.[87] During the 2023–24 regular season, Curry appeared in 36 games for the Mavericks, averaging 4.3 points, 1.4 rebounds, and 1.0 assist in 12.7 minutes per game.[2] His shooting efficiency remained solid, connecting on 36.3% of his three-point attempts (24-for-66), though his overall field goal percentage dipped to 37.2% amid a limited role off the bench with just three starts.[2] Injuries hampered his availability, including ankle soreness that sidelined him in December 2023 and persisted into January 2024, contributing to his reduced minutes and output compared to prior seasons.[88][89] Curry's contributions were most notable in spot-up situations, where he helped maintain Dallas's perimeter threat during a competitive Western Conference campaign that saw the team finish with 50 wins.[90] However, his stint ended prematurely on February 8, 2024, when he was traded to the Charlotte Hornets as part of a multi-player deal.[91]Charlotte Hornets (2024–2025)
On February 8, 2024, Seth Curry was traded from the Dallas Mavericks to the Charlotte Hornets, alongside forward Grant Williams and a 2027 first-round draft pick, in exchange for forward P.J. Washington.[91] A Charlotte native, Curry appeared in eight games for the Hornets to close the 2023–24 season, averaging 9.0 points on 48.7 percent shooting from the field and 47.1 percent from three-point range.[2] Following the season, he was waived on June 28, 2024, but re-signed with the team on July 15 to a one-year contract, allowing him to return to his hometown for the full 2024–25 campaign.[92] In the 2024–25 season, Curry played in 68 games for the Hornets, primarily off the bench, averaging 6.5 points, 1.7 rebounds, and 0.9 assists in 15.6 minutes per game while shooting 47.8 percent from the field and a league-leading 45.6 percent from three-point range on 2.4 attempts per game.[2] His efficient sharpshooting provided spacing and veteran presence on a rebuilding roster, where he embraced a mentorship role for younger players, emphasizing work ethic and professional habits. Curry particularly praised point guard LaMelo Ball's offensive creativity and flair, drawing comparisons to his brother Stephen Curry's impact on opposing crowds, while serving as a "professor" to guide the team's development amid injuries and inconsistency.[93] The Hornets struggled to a 19–63 record, finishing 14th in the Eastern Conference and securing a lottery position, but Curry's steady leadership helped foster growth among the young core.[94] Upon the expiration of his contract, Curry became an unrestricted free agent in the summer of 2025.Golden State Warriors (2025–present)
On September 30, 2025, Seth Curry signed a one-year Exhibit 10 contract with the Golden State Warriors, marking his first NBA stint alongside his brother, Stephen Curry, and fulfilling a long-anticipated family reunion on the court. This move came after Curry's release from the Charlotte Hornets in July 2025, where he had led the league in three-point shooting percentage the prior season. The signing positioned Curry as a potential depth piece for a Warriors team aiming to contend in the Western Conference following Klay Thompson's departure to the Dallas Mavericks in the 2024 offseason. During training camp, Curry participated actively but did not appear in any of the Warriors' five preseason games, as the team managed his role amid roster constraints. On October 3, 2025, at his introductory press conference, Curry expressed excitement about the "Splash Brothers" dynamic, noting the unique opportunity to share the floor with Stephen and contribute to Golden State's shooting tradition. However, on October 18, 2025, the Warriors waived Curry to create salary cap flexibility under the NBA's apron rules, a procedural step anticipated from the outset.[95] The team explicitly expected his return once financial room opened, preserving his spot in practices and team activities.[96] On November 13, 2025, Curry signed with the Warriors. As of November 18, 2025, he has not yet appeared in any 2025–26 regular-season games, which began on October 22.[8] This ongoing arrangement underscores Curry's value as a reliable 43.3% career three-point shooter, providing low-usage spacing for Golden State's contending roster.International career

In the summer of 2009, following his freshman season at Liberty University and announcement of his transfer to Duke, Seth Curry was selected to the USA Men's Under-19 World Championship Team.[97] The 12-player roster, announced by USA Basketball on June 18, featured several future NBA talents including guards Klay Thompson, Avery Bradley, and Shelvin Mack, as well as forwards Gordon Hayward and Al-Farouq Aminu.[98] Curry competed in the tournament held July 2–12 in Auckland, New Zealand, where the USA team went undefeated with a 7–0 record to claim the gold medal, their first in the event since 1991.[99] Over seven games, he averaged 9.0 points, 2.2 rebounds, and 1.1 assists per game while shooting 39.6% from three-point range on 48 attempts.[100] In the gold medal game, a 88–80 victory over Greece on July 12, Curry contributed 9 points on 3-of-5 field goals, including 1-of-2 from beyond the arc, helping secure the win alongside double-digit scoring from teammates like Hayward (17 points) and Thompson (14 points).[99] This international exposure, coming amid his transition to a higher level of college basketball, enhanced Curry's confidence and preparation for his Duke career, where he would sit out the 2009–10 season per NCAA transfer rules before debuting the following year.[12]Senior national team
Unlike his brother Stephen Curry, who earned gold medals with the senior United States national basketball team at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, the 2024 Paris Olympics, the 2010 FIBA World Championship, and the 2014 FIBA Basketball World Cup, Seth Curry has not represented the senior USA team in any major international competitions.[101][17] Curry's international experience has been limited to youth levels, and he has instead prioritized his professional career as a role player in the NBA, where opportunities for international play are often constrained by club commitments and team schedules.[17]Personal life
Family
Seth Curry married Callie Rivers, the daughter of NBA coach Doc Rivers, on September 14, 2019, in a ceremony overlooking the Pacific Ocean in Malibu, California.[102] The couple had known each other for years through their families' connections in the NBA, as their fathers, Dell Curry and Doc Rivers, played and coached during overlapping eras in the league.[103] Their romantic relationship began in 2017, strengthening ties between the two prominent basketball families.[104] Curry and Rivers have three children together. Their daughter, Carter Lynn Curry, was born in 2018.[105] Their first son, Cash Curry, arrived in November 2021.[106] Their second son, Cruz Lennox Curry, was born in June 2023.[103] Through his marriage, Curry gained extended family members deeply involved in professional basketball, including brother-in-law Austin Rivers, an NBA player, and father-in-law Doc Rivers, a longtime NBA head coach.[107] The families' intertwined histories have fostered close bonds, with Curry's career moves often supported by this network; for instance, the family maintained a presence in the Charlotte area, where Curry owns a $6.4 million home purchased with Rivers in September 2024.[108] Public family moments have highlighted Curry's relationships with his siblings, particularly his brother Stephen Curry. The brothers competed against each other in the 2019 NBA All-Star 3-Point Contest, placing a family wager on the outcome.[109] In October 2025, Seth signed a preseason contract with the Golden State Warriors, briefly reuniting him with Stephen, but was waived on October 18, 2025, to manage salary cap flexibility; as of November 18, 2025, he remains an unrestricted free agent.[110][95]Faith and philanthropy
Seth Curry is a devout Pentecostal Christian, raised in a faith-centered household by his parents, Dell and Sonya Curry. He has been outspoken about his religious beliefs, emphasizing that Jesus Christ is the top priority in his life and viewing his basketball career as a platform to glorify God.[111][112] Curry credits his faith with providing perseverance amid career challenges, stating that he focuses on doing his best in all aspects of life as a way to honor his Creator rather than seeking personal glory. During his time at Duke University, for instance, he highlighted how prioritizing Christ helped him navigate high-stakes moments like the 2013 NCAA Tournament.[112][113] In philanthropy, Curry founded the Seth Curry Foundation, which supports youth education through programs like entrepreneurship workshops designed to inspire students to apply business thinking to life decisions. The foundation has collaborated with partners such as ASUS to donate technology for learning centers.[114][115] Curry has actively participated in NBA Cares initiatives, including dedicating a youth reading center in Dallas in 2020 as part of the Mavericks' community outreach. He also joined efforts to honor coaches aiding children with chronic illnesses at a 2020 CoachArt event sponsored by the Mavericks and financial services company Chime.[115][116] During his stint with the Charlotte Hornets, Curry contributed to team-led charitable activities, such as partnering with Food Lion Feeds in 2024 to assist families with grocery shopping ahead of spring break, ensuring access to nutritious meals. These efforts align with his family's broader commitment to community support, including education and youth development in areas like Charlotte.[117]Career statistics
