The reunion of the Curry brothers is truly destiny’s finest arrangement.

As mentioned, this wasn’t the first occasion the Curry brothers donned the Warriors uniform at the same time.

In the 2013 draft, Seth Curry missed all pre-draft workouts due to having surgery on his right shin after finishing his college season, which led to him going undrafted. He also missed the Summer League that followed. Yet, as Stephen’s brother and a player named to the All-American Second Team, he was offered a training camp deal by the Warriors.

Seth didn’t secure a regular contract during training camp and was cut by the Warriors before the season began. Interestingly, 12 years later at another training camp, he was again waived before the season started. This time, it was due to salary cap issues, and the Warriors had to wait until November to sign him to a reduced minimum contract.

Early in his career, Seth faced many hardships. During his rookie season, he changed teams three times—after being waived by the Warriors, he signed with the Grizzlies but was cut after a month; then he signed a 10-day contract with the Cavaliers but wasn’t renewed after it expired.

In the 2014-15 season, Seth only secured a 10-day contract with the Suns in March 2015, near the season’s end, and was not re-signed after it expired. Over his first two seasons, Seth played in just four games total.

During those two years, Seth moved between multiple teams and faced many struggles, but he wasn’t without opportunities. Perhaps because of his brother, the Warriors always wanted to sign him, but he refused. Seth said, “I never wanted to join Stephen’s team; I’d rather compete against him. I like to follow my own path and do my own thing. I don’t want to live in Stephen’s shadow anymore.”

In 2015, he signed a two-year, $2 million contract with the Kings, marking a turning point in his career because he finally earned consistent playing time—appearing in 44 games with nine starts and averaging 6.8 points per game while shooting 45% from three-point range.

From that season on, Seth finally established himself in the league. He continued the Curry family’s legacy of sharp outside shooting, with excellent shooting skills compensating for his lack of physical gifts. Although he couldn’t secure a large contract, he consistently managed to stay in the league. During his multiple stints with the Mavericks, he was often the team’s best three-point shooter.

In the 2018-19 season, Seth signed with the Trail Blazers, who advanced all the way to the Western Conference Finals. This allowed the brothers to face each other on the court. Though the series was one-sided, the Curry brothers’ matchup generated plenty of attention.

“Old Curry” and his wife Sonia ultimately flipped a coin to decide which jerseys each would wear, changing them every game. In Game 3 of the Western Conference Finals, Stephen scored 37 points with 8 rebounds and 8 assists, while Seth also shined with 16 points, 2 assists, 4 steals, and 4-of-7 shooting from three-point range.

Stephen was nearly unstoppable in that series, but Seth was the only one who could manage to steal the ball from his brother. Having grown up playing together, Seth knew Stephen very well. After that game, although Stephen swept the series, it was clear that Seth had stepped out of his brother’s shadow.

Last season, Seth played for the Hornets, shooting 45.6% from beyond the arc and making 1.2 three-pointers per game. By the season’s end, he ranked first in the league in three-point shooting percentage. In fact, over his entire career, Seth’s three-point shooting percentage stands at 43.3%, ranking seventh all-time and even 1% higher than his brother’s.

However, he faced a cold free agency market again, with few teams willing to offer a contract to the nearly 35-year-old Seth. It wasn’t until then that the Warriors extended an offer once more, and this time, Seth accepted.

In an interview, Seth said, “I know I’ve said many times before that I didn’t want to play on the same team as Stephen. I wanted to carve my own path, but coming here now feels just right.”

As an undrafted player, Seth has now played 12 years in the league, proving he can compete and perform well without relying on his brother. Given that, sharing the court in the final stages of their careers might just be destiny’s best plan.

Next season, Curry number 30 and Curry number 31 will together continue the legacy of the Curry family on the court.
