Here’s what people were saying about Curry’s return:
Matt Lively: “Steph Curry, man. Most entertaining Dubs game in awhile. Misses a quarter of the season and scores 29. Play-in just got more interesting, at the very least.”
@SwipaCam: “Steph Curry might still be the most dangerous guard with the ball in his hands in the NBA.”
Jason Timpf: “KD, Bron and Steph still doing it in April 2026. Absolute legends.”
Skip Bayless: “Steph, at 38 after missing 2+ months, looked more spectacular than ever – 29 in just 26 mins. But on the final play, down one, smother doubled, he should’ve given it up to Draymond and let him wide-open drive and maybe dish for a layup or dunk.”
