LeBron James and Giannis Antetokounmpo aren't the only NBA superstars with family members on their team.

Earlier this month the Golden State Warriors decided to reunite superstar Stephen Curry with his younger brother Seth Curry for the first time in over a decade. But with just a few days remaining before the start of the regular season, the Warriors have decided to waive Seth Curry instead.

According to NBA insider Marc Stein, the Warriors have decided to waive Curry until they have "sufficient financial flexibility to bring him back." They are expected to bring Curry back sometime in the coming weeks.

"The Warriors, as expected, have waived Seth Curry with the intention of re-signing next month when they have sufficient financial flexibility to bring him back," Stein wrote.

An NBA team needs money?

NBA fans quickly became confused by the language Stein used to describe the situation. Many were baffled at the notion that the Warriors wouldn't be able to afford Curry's contract.

"If they knew they had no money why would they sign him?" one user wondered.

"Goofy stuff like this happens when you’re hard capped," another pointed out.

"Economy is so bad, NBA teams are hitting players with the 'I got you when I get paid,'” joked a third.

"Giannis would never let this happen to his brother."

"LeBron would never allow this to happen to a family member."

It looks like a double Curry team-up on an NBA floor is still possible.

Seth Curry's basketball career

Seth Curry has carved out a respected NBA career as one of the league’s most consistent three-point shooters and a reliable role player. The younger brother of Golden State Warriors superstar Stephen Curry, Seth went undrafted in 2013 after playing college basketball at Liberty and Duke. Despite early challenges breaking into the league, he built his career through persistence and elite shooting touch. Over the years, he has played for multiple teams — including the Dallas Mavericks, Portland Trail Blazers, Philadelphia 76ers, and Brooklyn Nets — earning a reputation for his sharpshooting and off-ball movement. His career three-point percentage has consistently ranked among the NBA’s best, often hovering around the 43% mark.

Beyond his shooting, Curry has proven to be a valuable veteran presence and an adaptable player in any offensive system. Known for his poise, high basketball IQ, and efficient scoring, he’s become a go-to floor spacer on playoff-caliber teams. While he’s never been the star his brother is, Seth’s steady production and professionalism have made him one of the NBA’s most respected role players. His journey from undrafted rookie to dependable veteran is a testament to hard work and perseverance, securing his legacy as a top-tier shooter in modern basketball.
