Warriors Release Veteran Guard Seth Curry in Roster Update

The Golden State Warriors made a significant roster update by waiving veteran guard Seth Curry on Saturday. This decision comes just before the regular season begins, marking a pivotal moment for both the player and the franchise.

Seth Curry’s NBA Journey

Seth Curry, an 11-year veteran in the NBA, had not participated in any pre-season games after signing a one-year contract with the Warriors in late September. His recent stint with the Charlotte Hornets saw him average 6.5 points, 1.7 rebounds, and 0.9 assists last season. He showcased impressive shooting skills, hitting 47.8 percent from the field and an outstanding 45.6 percent from three-point range on 2.7 attempts per game.
