Warriors Stun Fans by Releasing Steph Curry’s Brother Just Before Regular Season Begins
The Golden State Warriors have announced the release of Seth Curry just days before the regular NBA season kicks off. This decision comes as part of the team’s strategy to re-sign him next month when their financial situation allows for it.
Details of the Release
The Warriors made this announcement on Saturday, stating they have waived guards LJ Cryer and Seth Curry. Cryer participated in five preseason games, averaging 5.0 points, 1.8 assists, and 1.6 rebounds in 9.6 minutes per game. He had signed with the Warriors on September 29 after going undrafted in the 2025 NBA Draft.
Veteran Presence
Seth Curry, an 11-year NBA veteran, initially joined the Golden State on October 1. However, he did not play in any preseason games. The team has clarified that Curry is likely to return, with the organization keeping the 15th roster spot open for him until early November.
- Seth Curry: 11-year NBA veteran
- Joined Golden State: October 1
- Contract: Veteran minimum
- Previous season stats with Charlotte Hornets: 6.5 points, 1.7 rebounds
- Three-point shooting: 45.6% last season
Financial Constraints
The Warriors are currently hard-capped at the second apron in salary cap terms. This limitation prevents them from affording Curry’s contract until their financial situation improves next month. Seth Curry spent the preseason training at the team facility but was not activated for any games.
As the new season approaches, the Warriors find themselves making strategic decisions while trying to maintain their competitive edge. The focus remains on the potential return of Seth Curry, who has a history of contributing positively to the team.
