Seth Curry of the Dallas Mavericks has tried to pave his own way in the NBA. It's been tough for the North Carolina native to step out of his family name's shadow given that his older brother, Stephen, has been one of the top players in the league for quite some time now and their dad Dell is an all-time legend. In his young professional stint, the 29-year old has slowly but surely proven that he is worth every penny under his name. But not after a roller coaster start to his NBA career.

After being undrafted in the 2013 NBA Draft, the younger Curry spent some time in the NBA Developmental League, playing for the Golden State Warriors-affiliate team, the Santa Cruz Warriors.  He first caught the eye of the Memphis Grizzlies who gave Seth his first 10-day contract with the NBA. He signed a $37,484 contract with the Grizzlies but was waived after just playing one game for the team. Curry went back to Santa Cruz and continued to shine for the D-League squad, being named in the 2014 NBA D-League All-Star Game.

A month after the All-Star Game, he signed his next 10-day with the Cleveland Cavaliers for $28,834. He was then released by the Cavs and decided to go back again to the SC Warriors to finish the season. After another successful year the D-League in 2014, playing for Erie Bayhawks, he was offered another 10-day contract with the Phoenix Suns where he signed for $48,028. Just like his previous short-term signings, he was again released by the Suns and saw himself back again in the D-League one last time.

Curry went on to play for the New Orleans Pelicans Summer League team in 2015 and averaged a solid 24.3 points per game. In July, he finally signed a 2-year $947,276 contract with the Sacramento Kings. Seth was poised to fill in the shooting woes for the Kings where he played a total of 44 games and averaged just 6.8 points per game, coming off the bench. He declined his player option at the end of the year and became an unrestricted free agent.

In the summer of 2016, the 6-foot-2 guard agreed to sign with his fifth NBA team as the Mavs offered him a 2-year $5.9 million contract. Seth went on to average 12.8 points in 29 minutes in the 2016-17 season. Injury struck Curry on his second year with the Mavs as he sat out the entire 2017-18 season with a stress fracture on his left tibia which ultimately ended his first stint with Dallas.

The journeyman found himself on a new team signing a two-year $2,795,000 contract (including a player option for the second year) with the Portland Trail Blazers where he would beef up the backcourt tandem of Damian Lillard and CJ McCollum. Seth had spurts of magic with the Blazers and was even selected as the team's representative for the Three-Point Contest during the 2019 All-Star Weekend where he competed against his older brother, Steph. He capped his time with Portland with a Western Conference Finals appearance against none other than the Golden State Warriors where they were swept 4-0.

Curry exercised his player option and decided to go back to Texas. Seth re-signed with the Mavs this season and inked a 4-year $32 million dollar contract per Sportrac. Seth has played well for Dallas this year, averaging career-highs in both field goal (50%) and three-point (45%) percentages in 59 games before the NBA season came to a halt due to the coronavirus pandemic. He will again be an unrestricted free agent in 2023.
