Seth Curry said his body is starting to respond again, but the bigger challenge is making the most of a shrinking stretch of games. “Actually feel pretty good,” Curry said after the Golden State Warriors fell 127-113 to the San Antonio Spurs on Wednesday night.
“Just run out of games,” Curry said. “So kind of going out there trying to use my limited minutes as days to build and get in shape and get stronger and try to show ways that I can help this team down the stretch of the season.”
Curry said the season has been difficult emotionally, especially with the stop-start rhythm created by injuries. “It’s been tough. It’s been tough. Not the way I envisioned the season at all, but I mean try to stick to the process,” he said.
For Curry, the focus now is simple. “Just staying healthy, getting stronger and getting in better shape every day,” he said. “If my body is right, then I’ll be able to play more minutes and stay healthy.”
He said the Warriors are still sorting out what the next stretch will look like, but the approach remains unchanged. “Just take it day by day,” Curry said. “Whatever it is, whether it’s 5 minutes, 15 minutes, whatever it is, just keep building, getting stronger every day, and be ready if our number is called.”
That mindset matters with Stephen Curry still sidelined and Golden State fighting through a long injury list. Seth Curry said the goal is not just to return, but to become useful in the right way. “Just trying to build and use games like tonight to get more confident and get used to playing with my teammates a little bit, getting used to the offense,” he said.
He also made it clear how much he wants to share the floor with his brother before the season ends. “Everybody’s been wanting to see us out there on the court,” Curry said. “I want to get out there with him at least one time and experience that and put on a show for the fans.”
Curry added that there is no sense forcing the issue. “If he gets out there and makes it happen, it makes it happen. If not, it’s not meant to be,” he said.
The Warriors, short-handed against Victor Wembanyama’s 41-point outburst, were encouraged by their effort more than the result. “We competed,” Curry said. “We kept calling back kind of 10, 15, or whatever range and trying to make it a game.”
He said that attitude has to stay in place. “No excuses,” Curry said. “Going out there with who we have every night and competing and trying to get better. That mentality of not feeling sorry for yourself, it’ll pay off eventually.”
