Steph Curry played for the first time yesterday in over 261 days. After missing the majority of the season because of a wrist injury, Curry played only five games last season. Yesterday, he played against the Denver Nuggets in the first preseason game for the Warriors.
Curry looked fit during the 21 minutes he was on the court, scoring 10 points. NBA fans all around the world were happy to see Steph, back in the court, but one fan stood out; his son, Canon Curry.
In a recent Instagram post, Steph Curry shared a heartwarming video of his son cheering for him during the game.

Warriors also saw their new players, Kelly Oubre Jr. and Kent Bazemore, score 10 points and 13 points each.
Other stand-out stars for the Warriors were Damian Lee and Jordan Poole. The Dubs defeated the Nuggets 107-105. The Warriors have two more preseason games before their season opener against the Brooklyn Nets.
How far can Steph Curry and the Warriors go?
The Warriors suffered from a big setback when their star Klay Thompson suffered from yet another season ending injury. But for now, the Warriors have brought in Kelly Oubre Jr. as his replacement.
Oubre looked good in the limited minutes he was on the court. He is a good defender and also added points to the board last season. He averaged 18.7 points, 1.5 assists and 6.4 rebounds last season.
However, we still could not see their starting front court, consisting of no.2 draft pick James Wiseman and
Draymond Green. Wiseman has been renowned for his athleticism and speed. But given the fact that he had only played three games in college, it will be intriguing to see how he performs in the NBA.The Warriors will hope that Green and Wiseman return before the start of the regular season. They have also added some crucial bench players like Brad Wanamaker and Kent Bazemore, too.
