  • Steph Curry’s sister voices Shai Gilgeous-Alexander issue over IG post – NBC Sports Bay Area & California


    Sydel Curry-Lee doesn’t play when it comes to her big bro Steph.

    While she and Los Angeles Sparks star Cameron Brink discussed NBA MVP candidate Shai Gilgeous-Alexander on their new “Straight to Cam” podcast, Sydel brought up one of SGA’s recent Instagram posts she took issue with.

    “I have a bone to pick with him,” Sydel said. “I have a little sister bone to pick with him because he posts his fits and lyrics as captions. Whatever city he’s in, he tries to find lyrics that match the city. So he’ll post the fit, then he’ll post a good play from that game. So when he played in the Bay, he posted, ‘I was feeling like E-40 in the Bay, so I had to go dumbbbbb.’ Fire fit.

    “Watching the move, he crosses up Stephen, goes behind the back and Stephen gets off balance. Great move. Cool. You posted the shot of it. But why are there like four other clips of him against Stephen and no other player gets that? No other post gets that.”

    The post Sydel is referencing is from last season, after the Oklahoma City Thunder came to town for back-to-back games against Golden State. The Warriors suffered consecutive losses to Gilgeous-Alexander and the Thunder, including a 130-123 overtime loss on Nov. 18, 2023, in which SGA dropped 40 points.

    The double victories led to Gilgeous-Alexander’s fastidious post, which included four slides with Steph in them.

    “See, the little sister is coming out of both of us,” Brink responded. “I think it’s just because he’s Steph. … Everyone wants to be him.”

    It still didn’t sit right with Sydel, who did her research on Gilgeous-Alexander’s Instagram page before sharing her final remarks.

    “I’m searching his page and the last time he posted [an opposing player that much] was never. Never!” she said. “I don’t like that. Great player though. He should get MVP, in my opinion.”

    While Sydel, like many others, believes Gilgeous-Alexander, who leads the league in points and is second in steals, should run away with the NBA’s most prestigious award, her thoughts on his social media presence off the court might not align.

    Steph Curry’s sister Ayesha Curry recently took to Instagram to voice her concerns over an Instagram post made by Oklahoma City Thunder player Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. In the post, Gilgeous-Alexander shared a photo with a caption that seemed to imply he was not taking the COVID-19 pandemic seriously.

    Ayesha Curry, who has been an advocate for following safety guidelines during the pandemic, expressed her disappointment in Gilgeous-Alexander’s post and urged him to be more responsible with his platform. She emphasized the importance of setting a good example for fans and followers, especially during these uncertain times.

    Many fans have since rallied behind Ayesha Curry’s message, showing their support for her stance on the issue. It remains to be seen how Gilgeous-Alexander will respond to the criticism and whether he will take steps to address the concerns raised by Ayesha Curry and others.

    Stay tuned for updates on this developing story.

  • Former NBA Star Thinks Steph Curry Is Making A Mistake


    Steph Curry is one of the best 20 players of all time.

    The future Hall of Famer has spent his entire 16-year career playing for the Golden State Warriors.

    That said, the Warriors are coming off a season where they missed the NBA playoffs (and they are not anywhere close to being a contender for the 2025 title).

    Curry has shown no signs of ever wanting to leave the franchise that drafted him (despite their recent struggles).

    At 36, it’s very likely he joins the exclusive list of superstars to finsh out a career with one team.

    That said, former NBA star Eddie Johnson thinks Curry is making a mistake.

    Johnson (via The Bill Simmons Podcast): “I know Curry will never give in to being traded, but I just think it’s a mistake. I think their run is over with this group.”

    Curry is currently averaging 22.1 points, 4.6 rebounds, 6.2 assists and 1.1 steals per contest while shooting 44.0% from the field and 40.2% from the three-point range in 39 games.

    On Friday night, the Warriors were blown out by the Phoenix Suns (130-105).

    Curry had one of his worst games of the season, finishing with 14 points while shooting 5/14 from the field.

    The Warriors currently sit as the 11th seed in the Western Conference with a 24-24 record in 48 games.

    They will resume action on Monday when they host the Orlando Magic.

    As for Johnson, he spent 17 seasons in the NBA with the Kings, Suns, SuperSonics, Rockets, Pacers and Hornets.

    Former NBA star Charles Barkley believes that Steph Curry is making a mistake by staying with the Golden State Warriors. In a recent interview, Barkley expressed his opinion that Curry should consider leaving the Warriors in order to have a better chance at winning another championship.

    Barkley pointed out that the Warriors are no longer the dominant team they once were, and that Curry’s individual greatness is being wasted on a team that is unlikely to win a championship in the near future. He suggested that Curry should explore his options and consider joining a team that has a better chance at winning a title.

    While Curry has been loyal to the Warriors throughout his career, Barkley believes that it may be time for him to prioritize his own success and legacy. Only time will tell if Curry will take Barkley’s advice and consider moving on from the Warriors.

  • What Santos learned about shooting from watching Steph, Klay


    What Santos learned about shooting from watching Steph, Klay originally appeared on NBC Sports Bay Area

    As Gui Santos earns more minutes in coach Steve Kerr’s rotation, the young Warriors forward finds himself sharing a court with Steph Curry more often than ever.

    It’s an opportunity to play alongside the greatest shooter of all time, and Santos is taking advantage of every minute. And he soaked up everything he could when Curry’s fellow Splash Brother, Klay Thompson, was still on the team.

    “I’m the guy that likes to watch,” Santos told reporters after Saturday’s practice. “So, I’ve always been watching how [Curry] shoots — the movement, the footwork and all the little details that you see. I’m a guy that likes to watch it, especially like last year, Klay was here, too. So there was another guy that I was always watching to see how he moves without the ball to get set, to shoot the ball, because the shot begins before you shoot the ball. How you set up your body before you get the ball.

    “So with these guys, you can learn a lot.”

    Santos, 22, was playing on a non-guaranteed contract until the Warriors chose to keep him on board and fully guarantee his deal at the Jan. 7 deadline. Up to that point of the 2024-25 NBA season, Santos had appeared in 11 NBA games for a total of 59 minutes.

    He now has appeared in 24 games and played at least 19 minutes in eight of the Warriors’ last nine games. And last season with Thompson on the team, Santos spent plenty of time on court with the Splash Bros during his 23 games in the NBA.

    And between the two sharpshooters, Santos noticed a key technique he tries to emulate.

    “One thing that I see they do a lot is to keep the hands up after they shoot,” Santos said. “So, every time they shoot, they keep the hands up. Of course for Steph, it’s kind of different because he has way more different, way more hard shots than what I have. So he doesn’t have these every time, but every time that Steph has a wide-open shot, you can see he’s shooting, and he keeps the hand straight.”

    Santos recently recorded a career-high 19 points in the Warriors’ 131-106 win over the Chicago Bulls on 7-of-10 shooting and 5 of 6 from 3-point range. While his shooting has slowed down in recent games, it’s clear Santos’ watchful eye is starting to pay off.

    Growing up, Santos was always a fan of basketball. He loved watching games and studying the players’ moves, trying to learn as much as he could from the pros. One duo that always caught his attention was Steph Curry and Klay Thompson from the Golden State Warriors.

    Santos admired their incredible shooting skills and wanted to emulate them on the court. So, he dedicated countless hours to watching their games, analyzing their shooting techniques, and practicing their moves on the court.

    From Steph, Santos learned the importance of precision and consistency in shooting. Steph’s incredible accuracy from beyond the arc showed Santos the value of proper form and repetition. He realized that by focusing on his technique and practicing consistently, he could improve his shooting percentage significantly.

    From Klay, Santos learned the importance of confidence and composure in shooting. Klay’s ability to stay calm under pressure and knock down shots in clutch moments inspired Santos to work on his mental game. He learned that having the confidence to take and make tough shots is just as crucial as having the physical skills.

    Overall, watching Steph and Klay has taught Santos valuable lessons about shooting that have helped him become a better player. By studying their techniques, practicing consistently, and staying confident in his abilities, Santos has seen a significant improvement in his shooting skills on the court. And he owes it all to the inspiration he found in two of the best shooters in the game.

  • Ex-NBA Champion believes Kyrie Irving deserved All-Star nod over Steph Curry


    The NBA unveiled the “reserves” for the 2025 NBA All-Star Game on Thursday evening, finalizing the 24-man player pool. And for the first time in the 2020s, no Dallas Maverick was selected, as Kyrie Irving and Luka Doncic weren’t chosen by the NBA coaches, despite both finishing in the top six of Western Conference guard voting.

    Doncic’s exclusion wasn’t a surprise; he’s been hurt since Christmas Day with a calf strain and has played in just 22 of Dallas’ 49 games to this point. There’s no games-played requirement for the All-Star Game like there is with postseason awards, so Doncic technically could’ve been selected, but it’ll also give him another week to rest.

    Irving’s exclusion was shocking to many people around the NBA, including former NBA Champion and a former teammate of Kyrie Irving, Kendrick Perkins. He had this to say on ESPN

    “I look at a guy like Steph Curry making the All-Star Game this season, and I look at a lot of guys like Kyrie Irving, Devin Booker, De’Aaron Fox, just in this conference who had better seasons, or are playing better than [Curry]. I’m going to say the quiet thing out loud: Steph Curry should not be an All-Star. He shouldn’t! No matter what the fans want, no matter what the coaches want, no matter what we want to see, you still have to earn to be an All-Star by your production. And if you’re looking at the production around the league, it’s guys in the Western Conference that have better numbers than Steph, and their teams are in better positions than Steph.”

    Kendrick Perkins

    Comparing just Stephen Curry and Kyrie Irving, Perkins has a point. Irving is averaging 24.3 PPG, 4.9 RPG, and 4.6 APG while shooting nearly 50/40/90, while Curry is at 22.1 PPG, 6.2 APG, and 4.6 RPG, but isn’t as efficient from three or the floor as Irving is (the degree of difficulty on Curry’s threes are higher, for what it’s worth).

    Irving also has the Mavericks at 26-23, sitting 9th in the Western Conference, while Curry’s Warriors are 24-24 in 11th. At the very least, it’s neck and neck, but Curry was voted as a starter, while Irving will be spending the week at home, barring an injury replacement being needed.

    Former NBA champion and current analyst, Kendrick Perkins, recently voiced his opinion that Kyrie Irving deserved an All-Star nod over Steph Curry this season. Perkins argued that Irving’s performance on the court this season has been exceptional and that he has been a more impactful player for the Brooklyn Nets than Curry has been for the Golden State Warriors.

    Perkins praised Irving’s scoring ability, playmaking skills, and leadership on the court, emphasizing that he has been a key factor in the Nets’ success this season. He also pointed out Irving’s impressive stats, including his scoring average and shooting percentages, as evidence of his All-Star caliber performance.

    While Curry is undoubtedly one of the greatest shooters in NBA history and has had a strong season as well, Perkins believes that Irving’s overall impact on the game should have earned him a spot in the All-Star game over Curry.

    It’s clear that opinions on this topic may vary, but it’s interesting to hear a former NBA champion like Perkins make a case for Irving over Curry. Do you agree with his assessment? Let us know your thoughts in the comments.

  • Steph Curry drops funny quip after rising on NBA all-time scoring list – NBC Sports Bay Area & California


    Father Time has yet to catch up to Warriors superstar Steph Curry, well, for the most part.

    Curry’s 21 points in Golden State’s stunning 116-109 win over the Oklahoma City Thunder on Wednesday night helped him leap Naismith Basketball Hall of Famer Ray Allen on the NBA’s all-time scoring list. His instant reaction?

    “You see the gray hair?” Curry joked to ESPN’s Jorge Sedano after the game. “That just means you’re blessed to keep playing this game at a high level. I thank God every day that this is a space I’ve been able to live in for 16 years. The names, I passed [Allen Iverson] a couple weeks ago, Ray today — guys I grew up watching in my generation who inspire me to love the game the way I do.

    “So it’s definitely special. Shout out to Ray.”

    With Wednesday’s performance, Curry has reached 24,515 points throughout his 16-season NBA career, passing Allen’s 24,505. He now is just 300 away from Patrick Ewing and less than 700 from Jerry West for 25th.

    Los Angeles Lakers megastar LeBron James leads the list with 41,474 points.

    This season, Curry, who turns 37 on March 14, is averaging 22.3 points on 44.2-percent shooting from the field and 40.5 percent from 3-point range, with 4.7 rebounds and 6.3 assists in 31.7 minutes through 38 games.

    Perhaps his hair is the only indication of his age catching up to him.

    Steph Curry drops hilarious one-liner after moving up on NBA all-time scoring list – NBC Sports Bay Area & California

    Golden State Warriors superstar Steph Curry has been making history this season, as he continues to climb up the NBA all-time scoring list. And while he’s been piling up points on the court, he’s also been dropping some funny quips off the court.

    After a recent game where Curry moved up another spot on the all-time scoring list, he was asked about his accomplishment. With his signature grin, Curry responded, “I guess I’ve been shooting too much, huh?”

    The comment drew laughs from reporters and fans alike, showcasing Curry’s lighthearted and self-deprecating sense of humor. Despite his impressive scoring numbers, Curry always manages to keep things in perspective and stay humble.

    As Curry continues to make his mark on the league, both with his scoring and his wit, fans can expect more memorable moments both on and off the court. And who knows, maybe another funny quip is just around the corner.

  • Steph Curry sends Warriors brass simple NBA trade deadline message – NBC Sports Bay Area & California


    SAN FRANCISCO – Six minutes and 46 seconds had passed before Steph Curry took his first shot Friday night against the Phoenix Suns, missing a 3-pointer that rolled around the rim before falling out. The optimist in Curry has always been one of his greatest strengths. On this night, Curry’s a realist after the Warriors’ 130-105 loss to the Phoenix Suns.

    Going an entire first quarter where he takes one shot isn’t going to be enough. The Warriors going into halftime with Curry only having five shot attempts is always going to put them in an 11-point halftime deficit — or worse. 

    “There’s an understanding of motion offense to try and use gravity at times,” Curry said in the Warriors locker room after the door. “You try and get on the ball at times. The defenses have kind of shifted a little bit more consistently to try and take away off-ball stuff. And it was a slow start tonight, which, that can’t happen. 

    “It’s on me, it’s on all of us to try and figure out how to get the ball moving, create good shots and use all the threats we have in this room. It did not go as planned tonight. I don’t ever want to be in a situation where you get five shots in a half. That’s not good basketball.”

    Curry’s first two points were a case of mano a mano, me vs. you – Curry was the winner. 

    Those two points had nothing to do with him running around the court. Andrew Wiggins soared to grab a missed 3-point attempt by Royce O’Neale, dribbled down the floor and fed the rock to Curry at the top of the arc. 

    With Bradley Beal right in his grill, Curry held the ball down low, faked it left, then faked it right before flying by Beal to his left and delivered a finger roll over Mason Plumlee. 

    Does there need to be more of a sense of urgency to just get the ball in Curry’s hands and let him go? 

    “It should have been that a little earlier,” Curry said. “But also, you know that there’s going to be attention on the ball. Try to go pick-and-roll, try to get in the seams, try to create looks off of that. Obviously, our struggle – that’s our, mine included – in the paint when we get an advantage trying to capitalize, to make teams have to honor that, that’s been a struggle.”

    The Warriors are at the bottom of the NBA in finishing around the rim, in converting layups. On shots within four feet Friday night, the Warriors were 10 of 24. The Suns were 16 of 18. 

    Curry’s comments on the Warriors’ offensive struggles are right in line with what he had to say about the upcoming Feb. 6 NBA trade deadline: Anything to win. He’s not going to disrupt, he’s not going to go above the team. But winning is all that matters. The sense of urgency is real.

    The Warriors’ superstar isn’t the type to publicly make a problem. He also has created more headlines than usual this season, like calling the Warriors “mid” to close the 2024 calendar year. 

    “That’s not for me to make those decisions,” Curry said when asked if he wants to see a trade happen. “I want to win, so whatever it means to do that.” 

    Before the Warriors were blown out by 25 points against the Suns, Steve Kerr gave his most blunt assessment of his team. A team that he truly likes coaching. One he enjoys going to work with. Kerr also was a realist Friday night, even before the blowout loss. 

    Kerr was asked if the Warriors have enough talent to be a playoff team. The coach gave a resounding yes. Then he recognized, in the same answer, who the Warriors are right now. 

    A few hours later, to close a month where they entered it 16-16, went through it 8-8 and ended it at 24-24 overall, the Warriors went back to being .500. 

    “We’re not in a position where we can just say, ‘No, we’re good. Let’s stand pat.’ That’s the reality of where we are,” Kerr said. “[Warriors general manager Mike Dunleavy’s] doing his due diligence, doing his job. If there’s something that makes sense. He’s going to do it.” 

    The day before, Kerr acknowledged talent wins out. This coming from a nine-time champion between being a player and coach who has emphasized the importance of culture and continuity. Kerr in that radio clip also alluded to Curry needing a second scoring option. 

    Just 48 hours prior to Phoenix burning them on their home court, the Warriors were flying high. They had just taken down the Western Conference’s cream of the crop in the Oklahoma City Thunder, without Draymond Green and Jonathan Kuminga. On the flip side, OKC still doesn’t have Chet Holmgren, and Alex Caruso was injured 22 seconds into the game. 

    In that feel-good win, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander dropped  52 points on the Warriors, including 21 in the first quarter and 31 in the first half. The Warriors got 18 points from Kevon Looney and 15 points out of Gary Payton II. Was that a replicable recipe to convince themselves they can make a run as is? 

    Looney’s 18 points tied a career high he set on March 23, 2023. The eight free throws he made eclipsed his previous career high by two. Payton’s 15 points beat his previous season high by three points, and were the most he had scored since another 15-point night on Oct. 29, 2023, the third game of last season.

    The NBA is a player-driven league. The superstars are conductors in disguise, they dictate the show and they usually get what they want. Some will speak loudly of their desires, unbothered by the effect it could have on the team. Curry isn’t part of that category. 

    He knows his voice matters, and it’s being heard right now. 

    “Y’all will never know about that,” Curry said, being questioned if he would ever apply more pressure to the front office to get him what he wants. “We have conversations all the time. I want to win. Again, that’s not my job. I’m not a coach, I’m not a GM, I’m not an owner. 

    “It’s pretty clear where I stand on trying to make whatever necessary adjustments there are to win.”

    In a recent meeting with Golden State Warriors management, superstar Steph Curry delivered a clear and concise message regarding the upcoming NBA trade deadline: “We’re ready to compete.”

    Curry, who has been the face of the Warriors franchise for years, made it clear that he believes in the current roster and is confident in their ability to make a push for the playoffs. Despite facing some challenges this season, including injuries to key players, Curry remains optimistic about the team’s potential.

    The Warriors have been the subject of trade rumors leading up to the deadline, but it seems that Curry is focused on staying the course and making the most of the talent already on the roster. With Curry leading the way, the Warriors have the potential to be a dangerous team in the postseason.

    Warriors fans can take comfort in knowing that their star player is fully committed to the team’s success and is ready to lead them to victory. As the trade deadline approaches, it seems that the Warriors are content to stick with their current roster and make a run for the playoffs with Curry at the helm.

  • Steph Curry, Moses Moody graded in Warriors loss to Suns


    Well, that sure was ugly. The Golden State Warriors shot just 37.5% from the field on Friday, falling back to earth with a one-sided, 130-105 loss to the Phoenix Suns. Whatever momentum and confidence they built on Wednesday in defeating the Oklahoma City Thunder evaporated without a trade on Friday at the Chase Center.

    Now I must, unfortunately, grade the players. As always, grades are based on my expectations for each player, with a “B” grade representing the average performance for that player.

    Note: True-shooting percentage (TS) is a scoring efficiency metric that accounts for threes and free throws. Entering Friday’s games, league-average TS was 57.4%.

    Andrew Wiggins

    31 minutes, 17 points, 8 rebounds, 6 assists, 2 steals, 1 block, 1 foul, 6-for-20 shooting, 1-for-5 threes, 4-for-5 free throws, 38.3% TS, -26

    A weird game from Wiggins. He was one of the most active Warriors in so many phases, as he led the team in rebounds and assists, all without turning the ball over. And I was pretty impressed with his defense on Kevin Durant.

    He also could not buy a bucket, and while he was more than happy to hoist shot after shot, he didn’t seem very interested in trying to get good shots. It’s hard to knock a guy too much for shooting inefficiently when everyone around him was an offensive zombie, but it’s also hard to give a guy too much credit when he took almost as many shots as any two of his teammates combined, and made them at a ghastly clip.

    In summation … shrug.

    Grade: B-
    Post-game bonus: Tied for the team lead in points and rebounds, led the team in assists, worst plus/minus on the team.

    Gary Payton II

    12 minutes, 3 points, 3 rebounds, 1 turnover, 1 foul, 1-for-6 shooting, 0-for-1 threes, 1-for-2 free throws, 21.8% TS, -11

    Payton got the start and played some pretty strong defense on Devin Booker. He also missed a bunch of buckets at the rim, which is rare for him, and ultimately his lack of offense was too costly to allow his defense to stay on the floor.

    Grade: C

    Quinten Post

    19 minutes, 9 points, 8 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 block, 2 fouls, 3-for-9 shooting, 2-for-4 threes, 1-for-1 free throws, 47.7% TS, -17

    Post got a nice show of confidence by remaining in the starting lineup after Wednesday’s clunker. And he was much, much better in this one. He was a much bigger force in the paint, gobbling up rebounds and playing decent defense without fouling.

    He’s still learning how to score at the rim, though, as he was just 1-for-5 inside the arc in this game. The finishing ability will definitely come, though: he has good moves in the post to get clean looks, and he has great touch. It seems he’s just struggling a little bit with the increased size and speed of the NBA game, which is understandable for a player who entered the game having played just 108 total minutes in his career.

    Grade: B
    Post-game bonus: Tied for the team lead in rebounds.

    Buddy Hield

    19 minutes, 13 points, 3 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal, 1 block, 3 turnovers, 2 fouls, 5-for-7 shooting, 3-for-5 threes, 92.9% TS, -9

    It seems like the Warriors game plan was run, run, run, and no one took that to heart quite like Hield did. It seemed like every time he touched the ball he was rushing up the court as quickly as he could. It was energy and effort that the team sorely needed and, sadly, could not match.

    It also led to him finally catching fire on offense, and he was probably the team’s best player in the first half, and definitely their best shooter.

    It got a little ugly for him in the second half, but I can’t blame him too much since he was pressing out of desperation.

    Grade: B+

    Steph Curry

    31 minutes, 14 points, 3 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 blocks, 2 turnovers, 1 foul, 5-for-14 shooting, 1-for-6 threes, 3-for-3 free throws, 45.7% TS, -18

    For the second game in a row, Curry was held scoreless in the first quarter, and was a total non-factor in the first half. Unfortunately, he didn’t have a second-half turnaround on Friday like he did on Wednesday.

    It’s certainly not time to question whether Curry is falling off a little. But it is becoming clear that, between the roster’s issues, the offensive burden he carries, and his age, we’ve reached an unfortunate point where the Warriors usually need Curry to be the best player on the court to have a chance to win, and he’s not able to be that player as often as he once was.

    There’s no shame in getting outplayed by Durant and Booker in one game. But the Warriors just don’t have many paths to victory when that happens. A tough game for the Chef.

    Grade: C-

    Kevon Looney

    15 minutes, 2 points, 4 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 steal, 3 fouls, 1-for-2 shooting, 0-for-1 free throws, 41.0% TS, -1

    A really strong defensive game for Looney, even though he didn’t bring Wednesday’s offensive excellence with him. He just didn’t impact the game all that much, but the defense really was impressive, minus the fouls.

    Grade: B
    Post-game bonus: Tied for the best plus/minus on the team.

    Gui Santos

    19 minutes, 5 points, 1 rebound, 2 assists, 1 turnover, 2 fouls, 1-for-3 shooting, 0-for-1 threes, 3-for-4 free throws, 52.5% TS, -4

    My favorite sequence in the game involved Santos. He took Durant one-on-one, crossed him over, blew by him easily, and laid the ball in. About 10 seconds later, Durant pulled up for a three directly in Santos’ face, and drained in, then gave the youngster a smack on the butt. It seemed a fun and competitive show of respect from the former Warrior to the current one.

    Grade: B-

    Moses Moody

    24 minutes, 17 points, 6 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 steal, 1 foul, 5-for-10 shooting, 4-for-7 threes, 3-for-5 free throws, 69.7% TS, -6

    A fantastic Moody game. He had some critical threes to help keep the Warriors in the game early on, and was one of the few players who brought energy and effort all night long. The He played half the game, and the Warriors were outscored by six points when he was on the court and 19 points when he wasn’t. That feels about right.

    Grade: A
    Post-game bonus: Tied for the team lead in points.

    Dennis Schröder

    21 minutes, 5 points, 6 rebounds, 5 assists, 4 steals, 1 block, 1 turnover, 4 fouls, 2-for-8 shooting, 1-for-5 threes, 0-for-2 free throws, 28.2% TS, -13

    I thought Schröder played pretty well everywhere except scoring. And it was a tough watch there, as the Suns dared him to shoot threes, which he obliged, but without success. Strong game elsewhere, though.

    Grade: B-

    Brandin Podziemski

    22 minutes, 14 points, 3 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal, 3 turnovers, 2 fouls, 5-for-9 shooting, 4-for-7 threes, 77.8% TS, -6

    Post-injury Podziemski continues to be a brand new player, and it’s awesome. A little out of control in this one at times, but otherwise a great game from Podz.

    Grade: B+

    Kyle Anderson

    12 minutes, 4 points, 2 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 turnover, 2-for-3 shooting, 0-for-1 threes, 66.7% TS, -7

    These Kyle Anderson minutes were, without a doubt, Kyle Anderson minutes.

    Grade: B

    Trayce Jackson-Davis

    9 minutes, 2 points, 1 rebound, 0-for-2 shooting, 2-for-2 free throws, 34.7% TS, -6

    After getting a DNP on Wednesday, TJD got back on the court on Friday, but not until late in the third quarter when the ship was sinking and the team was in desperation mode. Looked a little out of sorts.

    Grade: C

    Lindy Waters III

    6 minutes, 0 points, 1 rebound, 1 steal, 0-for-3 shooting, 0-for-2 threes, 0.0% TS, -1

    Just some garbage time for Waters, who is out of the rotation at the moment.

    Friday’s inactives: Draymond Green, Jonathan Kuminga, Jackson Rowe, Pat Spencer



    In the Golden State Warriors’ recent loss to the Phoenix Suns, both Steph Curry and Moses Moody put on a solid performance but ultimately fell short.

    Steph Curry, the two-time NBA MVP, led the Warriors with 23 points, 5 rebounds, and 4 assists. Despite his impressive scoring, Curry struggled from beyond the arc, shooting just 3-14 from three-point range. His ability to create shots for himself and others was evident, but the Suns’ defense made it difficult for him to find his rhythm.

    Rookie Moses Moody also had a strong showing, contributing 15 points off the bench. The 19-year-old showcased his scoring ability and confidence on the court, providing a spark for the Warriors in the second unit. Moody’s energy and hustle were key factors in keeping the game competitive.

    Overall, Curry and Moody both played well in the loss, but the Warriors were unable to overcome the Suns’ strong performance. As the team looks to bounce back, Curry and Moody will continue to be key players in their quest for success.
