"The younger Curry, 35, led the league in 3-point percentage (45.6%) in 68 games for his hometown Charlotte Hornets last season. Curry had spent training camp with the Warriors on an Exhibit 10 contract, but did not play during the preseason and was waived shortly before the regular season began on Oct. 21. The move was expected, as the cap space-strapped Warriors are up against the dreaded second apron."
"Curry, who has made 43.3% of his 3-pointers over an 11-year career, joins a shooting guard rotation that already includes Brandin Podziemski, Moses Moody, Buddy Hield and rookie sensation Will Richard. However, before Curry's brief sabbatical, Warriors head coach Steve Kerr envisioned a role on the team. "Seth is a really good player in his own right," Warriors coach Steve Kerr said. "He's one of the best shooters in the league, and he's going to help us win some games this year.""
Seth Curry is expected to sign a veteran minimum contract with the Golden State Warriors and will occupy the team's open 15th roster spot without requiring any current player to be waived or released. The 35-year-old led the NBA in 3-point percentage (45.6%) with the Charlotte Hornets last season and has a career 3-point mark of 43.3% over 11 seasons. He previously participated in Warriors training camp on an Exhibit 10 deal and was waived before the regular season. Salary prorating will keep Golden State under the second apron, allowing the addition despite tight cap restrictions. Coach Steve Kerr endorsed Curry's shooting ability and expected contributions.
