Warriors Turn Heads With Strong Steph Curry Message on Wednesday
Warriors Turn Heads With Strong Steph Curry Message on Wednesday originally appeared on Athlon Sports. After squeaking by the Houston Rockets in seven games, Steph Curry and the Golden State Warriors saw their season come to an end after falling to the Minnesota Timberwolves 4-1 in the Western Conference semifinals Advertisement The Warriors faced an uphill battle after winning Game 1, as Curry exited with a hamstring injury and never returned. Initially given a one-week recovery timeline, he was unable to get healthy, and Golden State went on to lose four straight games without him. During the 2024-25 regular season, Curry averaged 4.4 made 3-pointers per game, the most in the NBA. However, playing in only 70 contests, the former Davidson guard totaled 311 made 3-pointers, third behind Timberwolves star Anthony Edwards and Detroit Pistons guard Malik Beasley. Although he didn't lead the league, Curry still made history by becoming the only player to hit 300 or more three-pointers in six different seasons. He first reached this mark during the 2015-16 NBA season when he hit a career-high 402 shots from distance. Curry was also able to accomplish this last season as well, making 357 from long range. Advertisement The Warriors announced the news on Instagram. "6th Season with 300+ 3PM for No. have only been 10 times in NBA history that a player has reached 300 threes in a season." NBA fans were left impressed with Curry's achievement, taking to the Instagram comment section to share their thoughts "only missing szn was cuz of injury. truly incredible," one fan said. "Best player in the nba mj could never," wrote a second. "Look at curry's man so inspirational," added another. "Okc lucky they ain't see steph," commented a fourth. "Same guy, same GOAT," replied a fifth. "surprised he didn't get it 2022 championship year," added a sixth.
