More than a decade into his NBA career, journeyman sharpshooter Seth Curry has finally joined forces with his brother, Golden State Warriors superstar point guard Stephen Curry. While the Curry brothers’ linkup was a long time coming, according to Warriors coach Steve Kerr, one key team dynamic ultimately made the timing “right.”
Entering Year 12, Seth has long been one of the NBA’s premier 3-point specialists, coming off a league-best 45.6% outside shooting mark on 2.7 attempts per game with the Charlotte Hornets last season. Still, the younger Curry brother has bounced around the NBA, with Golden State marking his 10th team after finalizing his one-year, $3.6 million contract.
Why Is Seth Curry Finally Uniting With Stephen Curry in Golden State?
During Wednesday’s media availability session, Kerr expressed enthusiasm about Seth landing an opportunity to unite with his brother, who is gearing up for his 17th season. The veteran coach highlighted Seth’s impressive career path since going undrafted in 2013, beginning with his stint with the Warriors’ NBA G League affiliate, the Santa Cruz Warriors.
“I think it’s awesome,” Kerr said. “When I got here, I think Seth had just played in Santa Cruz about 11 years ago. And then he set off on his own course and made a really good career for himself.”
The four-time NBA championship-winning coach then noted that the 2025-26 campaign marks an optimal time for Seth to join Golden State, given the team’s need for backcourt depth.
“I think the timing feels right on this. I don’t know if the timing was right over recent years. We probably didn’t have playing time for him,” Kerr explained. “He was in a place where he was going to teams and playing a lot [and] making money.
“And it just feels like they’re both at a point in their careers where this makes a ton of sense. I’m thrilled to have Seth and to see the two brothers side by side today at our meeting. It was pretty awesome.”
Before kickstarting his career in the G League, Seth attempted to make the Warriors’ roster. He signed a non-guaranteed deal during the 2013 offseason but was waived after the preseason. However, this time around, the 35-year-old is far more established.
Stephen has remained the lone constant in Golden State’s backcourt since the departure of his longtime running mate, Klay Thompson, to the Dallas Mavericks last offseason. The franchise has since been trying to recapture the five-time All-Star’s long-range shooting magic with the likes of Buddy Hield and Brandin Podziemski at shooting guard.
Given Seth’s prolific 3-point accuracy, he’s expected to get looks alongside the Warriors’ veteran core of Stephen, Draymond Green, and Jimmy Butler III. While he acknowledged during Thursday’s introductory press conference that he previously sought to “create [his] own path,” Seth has kept close tabs on his brother’s squad over the years.
“Honestly, I probably watched 95% of Warriors games for the last 16 years,” Seth shared. “I know their style, and I know how they play.”

As such, Seth could be in store for a seamless integration during his first season in the Bay Area.
