In light of the announcement. Curry hyped up the showdown with an epic message for Ionescu.

“Stage is set! Let’s get it,” the Warriors guard posted on X (formerly Twitter).

The event will officially take place during NBA All-Star Saturday on February 17. It will come after the Starry 3-point Contest and precede the AT&T Slam Dunk competition.

While mic'd up, Stephen Curry flirted with the idea alongside his teammate Brandin Podziemski during a pre-game shootaround last week. And now, it is finally happening.
