The Charlotte Hornets' backcourt depth, Seth Curry has inked a one-year contract to remain with the team. Curry, whose ties to the city are as robust as Carolina barbecue with his father Dell Curry being a Hornets luminary and brother Steph Curry an NBA luminary will continue his career where his family's basketball legacy looms large. As reported by WSOCTV, the younger Curry’s contract was finalized less than three weeks after the Hornets waived him, sparking speculations of a quick return.
The signing was confirmed on Monday, marking a swift reversal after his release from the team. "The Hornets confirmed the signing," says WBTV, noting that Seth Curry and the team were both interested to potentially reunite. This re-signing allows Seth to actively continue to build on his dream of playing for Charlotte, a sentiment he expressed after initially being traded from the Dallas Mavericks back in February. A trade that seemed to bring him full circle, stepping onto the hardwood wearing his father’s iconic No. 30 jersey.
Curry's on-court contributions, albeit limited due to injury, were impactful in his short stint with the team last season. He averaged 9.0 points per game on 44.1% shooting from the field in eight appearances. With Seth back in the hive, the Hornets have not only retained a proven sharpshooter but also a player with deep city roots that resonate with the fanbase. According to stats from NBA.com, Curry boasts a 43.1 percent career mark from beyond the arc, ranking him as the third-highest among active players and the eighth-best in the league's history.
