“She represents the Bay Area,” Curry said. “She’s been a big supporter of us, so I want to give that energy back to her. We’re representing our country here, and this is a very monumental next couple of months for the direction where we’re headed. Hopefully, this is a great way to do our part to continue unifying our country with how sports brings a lot of people together.
Whether Curry’s former Warriors teammate Kevin Durant will be ready for Sunday’s opener is less certain. The three-time Olympic champion, who missed the entirety of Team USA’s five-game exhibition slate while dealing with a calf injury, said on Thursday his fitness remains a day-to-day situation.Curry and Durant are among the headliners of a US men’s team hotly tipped to win a fourth straight Olympic gold medal.
