Stephen Curry Says Met Gala Appearance Underscores Warriors’ Early Exit

His candid quip signals Golden State's pivot into a consequential offseason.

Overview

  • Curry, who walked the Met Gala red carpet Monday with wife Ayesha, told E! News that being there “means I’m not playing basketball right now.”
  • Golden State’s season ended in mid-April with a 111–96 play-in loss to the Suns, leaving the Warriors out of the NBA Playoffs.
  • Curry missed a large stretch this season with a right knee issue described as patellofemoral pain syndrome and a bone bruise, then returned to play on April 5.
  • He and Ayesha wore coordinated black Balenciaga looks for the event’s “Fashion Is Art” theme, joining other basketball names like Jimmy Butler, Russell Westbrook and Dwyane Wade.
  • Attention now shifts to Curry’s contract year and unresolved coaching and roster questions, with reports of possible big-name targets and Curry saying he plans to play multiple more years.
