Steph Curry to leave the Warriors? Speculation heats up amid a social media surprise

Curry has played his entire Hall of Fame-worthy career in California

 

Stephen Curry and the Golden State Warriors have become synonymous with one another. The Warriors were a middling NBA franchise that had gone decades without a championship when they selected Curry seventh overall in the 2009 NBA Draft; Curry has since led Golden State to five NBA Finals appearances and four championships since 2015, becoming basketball’s new 3-point king and claiming two MVP awards along the way.

But all good things must come to an end at some point, as the saying goes. Curry will not play forever, and after letting fellow star guard Klay Thompson join the Dallas Mavericks in free agency, the Warriors are looking ahead to the future and a “transition” phase in the coming years. A recent edit made to Curry’s bio on a widely-used social media platform has kicked off speculation that the superstar point guard, one of basketball’s most recognizable brands, is thinking about his future plans, too



“Good night” to Golden State?

After helping Team USA to a gold medal at his first Olympic Games earlier this month, Curry has changed his Instagram bio to remove any mention of the Warriors.

The 36-year-old’s bio now reads “Believer. Father. Husband. Founder. Philanthropist. And…Olympic Gold Medalist. Philippians 4:13′, with “Olympic Gold Medalist” replacing “Guard for the @Warriors”.

Curry, his wife Ayesha, and their four children have laid down roots in Athertion, California — one of the wealthiest towns, in terms of per capita income, in the United States. They live in a $30 million home purchased in 2019, and Curry signed a contract extension with the Warriors in 2021 that ties him to the franchise through 2026.

It is likely that Curry is simply highlighting a momentous career achievement that he secured in Paris as part of a star-studded national team nicknamed “The Avengers”. He has made no public gesture toward wanting to leave the only NBA franchise he’s ever known. But if he were up for a change of scenery…LeBron James and Anthony Davis are waiting in Los Angeles, 375 miles down Interstate 5.
