The Golden State Warriors guard missed most of last season through injury but he is exactly the right kind of sick at the moment
When news broke last Friday that Seth Curry had tested positive for the coronavirus, reactions were split. On one side, you had Philadelphia 76ers fans bemoaning the loss of a key player. On the other, you had all the doomscrollers who had scanned over that Woj bomb too quickly and assumed Steph Curry was the sick one. Boy, are we – I mean they relieved.
No disrespect to Seth, who was having his best month as a pro before being forced into quarantine. It’s just that, well, his brother Steph is being Steph again. After missing all but five games of the bubble season with a broken finger, the two-time MVP has been under considerable pressure to produce for a Golden State Warriors outfit that’s been down on nuclear-grade firepower since Kevin Durant took his talents to Brooklyn and Klay Thompson tore his achilles after missing all of last season with an ACL tear. A lesser talent might have buckled under such strain. But Curry has done just the opposite.
5+ minutes without a miss.
