Seth Curry’s Return
Seth Curry has officially made his return to the Golden State Warriors, raising questions about how his presence will impact the team’s performance. After missing three months due to sciatica, Curry’s comeback is seen as a significant boost for the Warriors, who have struggled with consistency this season.
Before his injury, Curry was a standout player, leading the NBA in 3-point field goal percentage last season at an impressive 45.6% while playing for the Charlotte Hornets. His last appearance on the court was on December 4, 2025, and since then, he has been sidelined, missing a total of 40 games. In the two games he played earlier this season, he averaged 7.0 points, 1.5 assists, and 2.0 rebounds.
Impact on the Team
The Warriors have been in need of a sharpshooter like Curry, especially as they lead the NBA in made 3-pointers per game at 16.3. However, they currently rank 14th in 3-point percentage at 35.9% as of March 9, 2026. Coach Steve Kerr expressed excitement about Curry’s return, stating, “It’s great to have him back, obviously he’s a great shooter and knows how to play.” Kerr emphasized that Curry can definitely help the team and that they would monitor how he feels during the game.
In his brief stint this season, Curry shot 6-of-9 as a Warrior, including 2-of-4 from beyond the arc. His ability to stretch the floor and create opportunities for his teammates is crucial for the Warriors, especially as they look to improve their offensive efficiency.
Background and Future Prospects
Seth Curry initially joined the Warriors for training camp but was released due to salary cap constraints. He was later re-signed several weeks into the season, indicating the team’s commitment to bringing him back into the fold. As a 35-year-old veteran, Curry’s experience and shooting skills are expected to play a pivotal role in the Warriors’ playoff aspirations.
As the season progresses, it remains to be seen how Curry’s return will affect the team’s dynamics and overall performance. With the playoffs approaching, every game is critical, and the Warriors are hopeful that Curry can regain his form and contribute significantly. Details remain unconfirmed regarding his long-term health and how many minutes he will be able to play as he eases back into the lineup.
