After missing 58 straight games due to a broken hand, Stephen Curry made his much-anticipated return to the court on March 5 against the Toronto Raptors.
However, Curry’s return to the Golden State Warriors was shortlived. The two-time Most Valuable Player missed the next two games with an illness and before he could get healthy, the entire NBA was put on hold.
The NBA suspended the 2019-20 season until further notice due to the coronavirus pandemic. Since the NBA went on hiatus, Curry has been advocating for social distancing in the wake of COVID-19.
The six-time All-Star and his wife Ayesha have set up meal donations for out of school children in the Bay Area. Curry was also apart of Golden State’s pledge to support Chase Center employee’s disaster relief fund. Yet, the Davidson product is still missing basketball.
On Twitter, Brooklyn Nets guard Spencer Dinwiddie asked if any other NBA players are watching their own highlights “due to withdrawals.”
Curry’s response was classic.

Curry and Dinwiddie aren’t the only players watching their film during the NBA hiatus. A bevy of other players all chimed in to admit they’ve been watching past highlight reels.

When the NBA does return, Curry will have 17 regular-season games remaining to get his fix before the offseason.
