After leading the Golden State Warriors to five consecutive trips to the NBA Finals, Stephen Curry has spent most of the 2019-20 season on the sidelines. After missing a majority of the season with a hand injury he suffered in October, Curry’s return to the court was limited to only one game after the league was put on hold due to the coronavirus pandemic.
Fast forward to the NBA’s restart in August, Curry’s Warriors are one of the eight teams on the outside of the Orlando Bubble. With no games on the calendar for an extended period of time, Curry is missing hoops.
In an interview with Marc Stein of the New York Times, Curry revealed he had “major FOMO” watching games at Disney World. During the first week of seeding games in the NBA’s Orlando Bubble, Curry admitted he suffered from the fear of missing out.
Via The New York Times:
Obviously I was happy to see basketball back on TV, but that first week I had major FOMO.
Once you see Bron and Kawhi and P.G. go at it, and you remember how much fun it is to play in those types of games and that kind of level, you miss it badly.
Until the Warriors are able to schedule an offseason mini-camp, Curry will have to settle his hoops fix at individual workouts.
While a group of teams are contending for playoff position in the Orlando Bubble, Curry has been working out in preparation for his long-awaited return to the court. A recent video was shared of the two-time Most Valuable Player throwing down a one-handed alley-oop dunk.

When he’s not in the gym, the six-time All-Star has been chiming in on what’s going on at Disney World. Whether it’s welcoming Joel Embiid to the Under Armour signature shoe family or commenting on his former teammate Andre Iguodala’s play, Curry has been following along with the NBA’s restart.
