Aside from Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry, another member of the Curry family continues to light it up from the floor this season. Steph's younger brother, Seth, has been a valuable acquisition for the Philadelphia 76ers this season. The Sixers guard is currently on pace to be the first player in league history to tally 50% field goal shooting, 50% shooting from beyond the arc, and 100% from the free-throw line, via StatMuse.

Through 18 games played, Curry is tallying 50.3% from the field, 50.7% shooting from 3, and a perfect 100% from the charity stripe. As a starter, he's averaging 12.7 points, 1.8 rebounds, and 2.6 assists in 27.4 minutes per game for the Sixers.
Curry has missed seven games after he contracted a positive COVID-19 case, and he has even admitted to dealing with some aftereffects of the virus. However, he has clearly made a profound impact on the roster overall, as evidenced by his stats and the fact that the Sixers are 15-3 when he plays.
On Tuesday night against the Sacramento Kings, Curry went off for 22 points on 7-of-13 shooting from the field. He also drained all four of his free-throw attempts and shot 4-of-6 from beyond the arc.
The production of big man Joel Embiid was crucial as always, especially in the fourth quarter. Embiid finished the night with an all-around performance of 25 points, 17 rebounds, and six assists, while Tobias Harris added 22 points and 10 rebounds of his own.
Philadelphia's steady showing on the floor helped them dispatch the Kings in a 119-111 victory. With the win, the Sixers tightened their grip on the top spot of the Eastern Conference with an 18-7 record. The team will vie for their third consecutive win when they visit the Portland Trail Blazers on Thursday.
