Stephen Curry Says Met Gala Appearance Means He’s Not Playing

His comment signals a focus on basketball heading into an uncertain Warriors offseason.

Overview

  • Curry, who walked the Met Gala red carpet Monday in New York with his wife Ayesha, told E! that being there means he is not playing basketball right now.
  • The Warriors’ season ended in the play-in round after a 111-96 loss to the Phoenix Suns last month, cutting short any playoff return.
  • Curry missed 27 games this season with a right-knee patellofemoral pain syndrome and bone bruise before returning to play on April 5.
  • He has said he plans to play multiple more years and is open to a new contract, and he noted no extension talks have started yet.
  • Golden State faces a fluid summer with reporting of coaching uncertainty around Steve Kerr, possible veteran opt-outs, and speculative links to star trade targets.
