4:00pm: The Hornets have officially waived Curry, the team confirmed (via Twitter).
3:52pm: The Hornets are waiving sharpshooter Seth Curry before his $4MM salary for 2024/25 becomes guaranteed, according to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski (Twitter link).
Friday represented the deadline for Charlotte to make a decision on that $4MM — it would have become guaranteed if Curry had remained under contract through today. While the Hornets have opted not to lock that money onto their ’24/25 cap, the two sides have mutual interest in exploring a new deal in free agency, says Wojnarowski.
The younger brother of Stephen Curry, Seth actually has a better career three-point percentage (43.1%) than his superstar sibling (42.6%). However, the 33-year-old – who obviously isn’t Steph’s equal as a play-maker or all-around scorer – is coming off a down year in 2023/24. He appeared in a total of 44 games for the Mavericks and Hornets, averaging just 5.1 points per game on .392/.352/.903 shooting.
The younger Curry, who was sent from Dallas to Charlotte in February as part of the trade package for P.J. Washington, was able to suit up for just eight games down the stretch for his hometown Hornets, as his season ended early due to a sprained ankle.
He’ll clear waivers on Sunday if he goes unclaimed.
Would be awesome to see him play with Steph.
Its only a matter of time lol.
It’s already happened
Well not regular season, but GS was his first team
He finally got to play for his Hometown team but they Waive him. Hopefully he can work out a 2-year, $4+M deal so he can finish his Career there.
Seth has stunk badly the last 2 years and is 34. It might be over for him.
He’ll get a minimum easily.
Seth doesn’t want to live and play in his brothers shadow, and wants to be his own man. He’s said this many times.
Now there is a way for Lebron to play with Curry.
Sixers I am sure will be calling
They drafted Seth 2.0
maybe bring seth back to mentor mccain, provide some bench scoring depth?
Curry to Nuggets?
Welcome to the Timberwolves
Seth back to Dallas
Not bad, but the Mavs need an actual 3 and D wing. If only Curry was a few inches taller.
