Stephen Curry with the boxing warm-up
The Warriors won with a final score of 108-99 against the New Orleans Pelicans in today’s game. Stephen Curry had to sit out the game due to his leg injury and is set to come back in the upcoming game vs the LA Lakers. Curry was courtside in between breaks, and Gary Payton II picked up the camera pointing at Curry.
