Cavaliers guard was hospitalized during NBA Finals after guarding Curry
Former Cleveland Cavaliers guard Matthew Dellavedova had to be hospitalized after guarding Stephen Curry during the 2015-16 NBA Finals.
In the 2014-15 NBA Finals, the Golden State Warriors triumphed over the Cleveland Cavaliers in six games. Matthew Dellavedova, a former Cavaliers guard, reflected on his struggles guarding the Warriors, particularly against former two-time MVP Stephen Curry. Dellavedova admitted that chasing Curry was an "impossible task" as Curry never seemed to tire.
Following Game 3, Dellavedova was hospitalized due to severe cramps, stating, "I'm just in a world of hurt." He was rushed to an ice bath and received an IV overnight. The next day, Dellavedova and the Cavaliers faced the Warriors again, only having a day's rest between games. Dellavedova then moved on to join the Milwaukee Bucks, while Curry continued his successful career with the Warriors.
The Cavaliers took home the 2014-15 title before the Warriors avenged the loss in the following two NBA Finals, winning a combined 8-1. Dellavedova, who is now based in Australia with the Sydney Kings, hasn't faced Curry since that 2015-16 season.
