Stephen Curry walked off a media day conference after being asked bluntly about the Golden State Warriors' future. The exchange unfolded when ESPN's Ramona Shelburne inquired about the team's chances of making the playoffs, referencing remarks made by coach Steve Kerr about entering the season with low expectations. Despite laughter erupting in the room, Curry was visibly upset, exclaiming, "That's how bad is that ... to make the playoffs?
We went from championship to ... damn!" He then walked away, expressing his thoughts on the matter. Coach Kerr had previously welcomed the lowered expectations, suggesting that it could benefit the team and its coach. Curry acknowledged the need to figure out what good basketball looks like for the team before assigning any immediate expectations.
The exchange highlighted the ongoing personnel challenges facing the Warriors, including the absence of Kristaps Porzingis due to an unspecified health issue and the injuries to Jimmy Butler and Moses Moody. Curry, however, provided positive news about his own condition, stating that his knee felt great with no limitations. He also announced a two-year, $116 million extension, balancing his interests with the organization's need for financial flexibility to pursue help in the offseason.
Curry emphasized that the team's focus now is on finding combinations that work, protecting possessions, and staying within reach of the postseason.
