The Golden State Warriors have officially waived guard Seth Curry, with plans for his return within the first two months of the season. This decision comes as a necessary step due to the team’s financial constraints under the current salary cap rules. The Warriors are hard-capped at the second apron, restricting their ability to maintain an extra veteran minimum contract until early November.
Given these financial restrictions, the Warriors will leave their 15th and final roster spot vacant until they can accommodate Seth’s anticipated return. This move is aimed at ensuring the team can navigate the complexities of their salary cap situation effectively.
Seth, who is the younger brother of star player Stephen Curry, has been actively training at the Warriors’ facility over the past few weeks and participated in the team’s only road trip in October. Despite his preparations, he has not played in any preseason games.
He began his professional journey with the franchise’s G-League program in Santa Cruz, but opted to explore opportunities across ten different NBA teams, seeking to establish his own identity separate from his brother’s illustrious career. This decision has yielded impressive results; Seth has made 945 career three-pointers at a remarkable 43.3 percent shooting accuracy, ranking seventh in league history.
This summer, Seth decided the time was right to join the Warriors, fulfilling a long-held dream of playing alongside his brother, Stephen. While the waiver may delay their collaboration on the court, the Warriors remain optimistic about Seth’s future contributions to the team. The organization is committed to bringing him back once the financial situation allows for his re-entry.
