Golden State confirmed the signing of 35-year-old Seth Curry, reuniting him with brother Stephen at Chase Centre. The deal is a camp Exhibit 9, a non-guaranteed mechanism that lets Seth practice and play preseason.
It’s a pragmatic add for spacing, not a nostalgia tour. The Warriors’ release and league coverage both pinned the timing as Wednesday.
Why This Makes Basketball Sense Right Now
Seth led the NBA in three-point percentage last season, drilling 45.6% for Charlotte on 83-of-182 threes. He averaged 6.5 points and 1.7 rebounds, a tidy bench profile with elite gravity. His career three-point mark sits at 43.3%, among the best in league history. Golden State’s offence values quick triggers, relocations, and empty-corner spacing that Seth already plays.
Role Fit: Micro-Usage, Macro-Impact
Expect Seth to function as a second-side release valve and dribble-handoff finisher. Exhibit 9 terms mean his opening-night spot isn’t guaranteed, but camp auditions are real. If retained later, he profiles as a 12–16-minute spacer against bench units. That’s where his low-touch, high-true-shooting skill set shines.
Family Threads in the Warriors’ Fabric
This isn’t their first overlap inside the Warriors’ system. In 2013–14, Seth averaged 19.7 points and 5.8 assists with Santa Cruz while Steph Curry made his first All-Star. Stephen has been a Warrior since going seventh in the 2009 Draft, now an 11-time All-Star. The familiarity reduces onboarding friction and tightens communication shorthand.
Brother Acts Around the League, and the History Book
Entering 2025–26, the Curry duo joins two other brother pairings on one roster. Milwaukee carries Giannis and Thanasis Antetokounmpo, while Orlando features Franz and Moritz Wagner. If both Currys are on Golden State’s regular-season roster, they’ll be the 23rd such brother pair in NBA history.
The Jersey Number Subplot, Solved with Humour
Seth joked he tried to buy Stephen’s iconic No. 30 after signing. No sale, naturally, so he’ll wear 31 in the Bay. The light moment underscores comfort inside the locker room hierarchy. It also signals Seth’s focus on role, not headlines.
Bottom Line for Golden State
The Warriors aren’t chasing volume from Seth; they’re banking on ruthless shot quality. His presence should stretch second units, unclogging drives for cutters and short-roll bigs. Contract mechanics keep flexibility while preserving a proven shooter’s rights. If the fit sticks, Golden State’s spacing gets quietly, usefully louder.
