The Golden State Warriors are re-signing Seth Curry Monday after waiving him prior to the 2025-26 NBA season, according to ESPN's Shams Charania and Anthony Slater. The Warriors brought Curry to training camp but had to waive him before the season because of a salary crunch.
ClutchPoints' Brett Siegel explained at the time the need to waive Curry because Golden State is pushing up against the second apron, which is a hard cap for them at just under $208 million. The Warriors had to wait to re-sign Curry so his prorated contract would fit under the hard cap. He'll fill the Dubs' 15th roster spot.
Curry didn't play in the preseason before getting waived, but now he joins a Warriors team that's playing without his brother, Stephen Curry, due to a quad injury. Golden State pulled out an ugly 104-96 win over the New Orleans Pelicans on Saturday in Jonathan Kuminga's return, with Jimmy Butler's 24 points, 10 assists and eight rebounds leading the way. Gary Payton II chipped in with a big 19 points off the bench.
While the Warriors secured the win to move to 11-10, the offense struggled for much of the night. It's unclear what the plan is for Seth Curry, but he could provide a jolt to the offense, especially with his brother out for the time being.
Seth Curry's path to Warriors
Seth Curry is a career 43.3% 3-point shooter and shot 45.6% from deep in 68 games with the Charlotte Hornets last season. The 35-year-old has bounced all around the NBA in what will now be a 12-year career. Golden State is Curry's 10th team, so this will be the first time he's teaming up with his brother.
The Warriors' next game is against the defending champion Oklahoma City Thunder.
