There\u2019s something poetic about this. Steph Curry, the greatest shooter in NBA history, is watching from the bench while his little brother Seth laces up for the Golden State Warriors tonight against the Utah Jazz. Three months removed from a left sciatic nerve issue that\u2019s kept him sidelined since December 4th, Seth Curry makes his return for what is technically his third appearance in a Warriors uniform this season.<\/p>\n
Two sons of Dell Curry. One family legacy built on the art of putting the ball through the net.<\/p>\n
And right now, with Steph still nursing his knee, the Warriors need the other one badly.<\/p>\n
Seth\u2019s sample size this season is microscopic but encouraging: 7.0 points, 2.0 rebounds, 1.5 assists, shooting 66.7 percent from the field and 50 percent from three in two games back in December. That\u2019s not a projection. That\u2019s not a trend. But it IS a sharpshooting guard on a team that has been scrapping for consistent perimeter shooting while running its \u201cCommunist Ball\u201d offense through youth and collective will.<\/p>\n
The timing matters. The Warriors\u2019 shooting depth is stretched thin. Seth Curry arriving tonight isn\u2019t just a heartwarming family subplot. Rather, it\u2019s a necessary basketball injection.<\/p>\n
We spent all offseason talking about the \u201cSplash Brothers 2.0\u201d narrative when Golden State signed Seth. The blood version of a legacy pairing that helped redefine how the NBA plays basketball. Dub Nation started daydreaming about Steph and Seth running off screens together, surgical and inevitable. The injury report had other plans. But tonight, at least one son of Dell is back.<\/p>\n
And in a season that has tested the faith of every Warriors fan repeatedly, that\u2019s worth something.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"There\u2019s something poetic about this.
