Dell Curry Trolls Steph Curry Over Missing Tip-Off against the Charlotte Hornets

Steph Curry is having one of his best seasons in the NBA currently. The Warriors’ point guard has been playing some of the best basketball of his career right now. He is putting numbers that are similar to his unanimous MVP season from 2016. Curry has been the driving force for the Warriors. But even Steph can have the occasional slip-up, like he did last night.

Dell makes fun of Steph

Last night, Curry and the Golden State Warriors played the Charlotte Hornets. However, at the start of the game, Curry missed the tip-off, even though he is an undisputed starter for the franchise. His father, Dell Curry, was on announcing duty for the Hornets, joked, “Want me to send a text to his phone?” when his colleagues were wondering where Steph was.

Despite the slip-up, it was not a fun night for Curry. He and the Warriors lost to the Charlotte Hornets after Terry Rozier posted a game-winner. The loss to the Hornets is another example of the Warriors’ struggles this season. They put up solid performances against bigger teams, but eventually fall to teams that shouldn’t cause them any problems.
