Current Challenges

“I had played against the Suns while sick,” Curry acknowledged after the game.
Remarkable Late-Career Performance
Curry’s current streak is exceptional, especially considering his early career was slowed by injuries. Despite being an older guard, he has become one of the most durable and prolific scorers in the league.
Author’s summary: Stephen Curry has surpassed Kobe Bryant’s scoring record after age 30 and is closing in on Michael Jordan’s, showcasing an impressive late-career resurgence despite earlier injuries.
