Stephen Curry has had way too much time off during this NBA season. First, a broken hand caused him to miss four months of action. When he came back, he played in one game before coming down with the flu. And then the season was put on hold.
Even worse, the NBA’s decision to close team facilities during the pandemic left Curry without a basketball hoop to shoot on. Yes, the greatest shooter in the history of the sport doesn’t have a hoop at his house—or he didn’t until recently.
After 16 days holed up at his Bay Area home unable to practice his craft, Curry’s wife, Ayesha, ordered him a Spalding hoop, according to the Wall Street Journal’s Ben Cohen.
